About Masterskjæret Lighthouse
Masterskjæret is a 9-meter concrete post lighthouse painted white, topped with a gallery and a red lantern roof. It is situated on a skerry in the sound between Ytre Vikna and Kalvøy in Norway's Trøndelag region. The light emits an occulting white, green, or red signal on a 6-second cycle. This light has a geographic range of 9.5 nautical miles and a focal height of 7.5 meters. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Rorvik, located 11.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: Masterskjæret is essential for guiding vessels through the narrow and potentially hazardous sound between Ytre Vikna and Kalvøy. Its distinctive sector light, displaying white, red, or green, provides precise directional guidance, ensuring ships avoid the skerry it sits upon and other submerged obstacles.
