About Madsøygalten Lighthouse
Madsøygalten lighthouse is situated on a stone cairn, a skerry within the inland passage south of Madsøy, near Leka. The structure features a 6.5-meter lantern with a gallery, painted white with a red roof. Its focal height is 5 meters, and it emits a light with a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. The light displays two white flashes followed by a red, white, or green sector every 8 seconds, indicating different approach directions. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for local shipping and fishing vessels navigating the narrow inland passage, specifically marking the skerry as a hazard.
