About Icelandic River Sector Lighthouse
This white cylindrical skeletal tower, with red horizontal bands at the top and bottom, stands 20 meters tall. Its focal height reaches 226 meters, and it emits a quick-flashing white, red, or green light depending on the viewing direction. The lighthouse is situated beside Highway 8, approximately 2 km northwest of the Icelandic River's mouth. It guides vessels across a shallow basin located between the south end of Hecla Island and the river's entrance on the west side of the lake. The site is open to the public, although the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The Icelandic River Sector light is essential for guiding vessels through a shallow basin, marking the route between Hecla Island and the Icelandic River's mouth. Its directional sector lights provide critical navigational warnings in these complex waters.
