About Sør-Gjæslingan Lighthouse
Also known as: Sør-Gjæslingan (Sondre Skarveskjær)
This square masonry tower, standing 6 meters tall, guides mariners with a focal height of 7 meters. Its lantern room is topped by a red roof, contrasting with the white tower. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal with a 6-second cycle, changing color to indicate direction. Located about 4 km northwest of the main Gjæslingan lighthouse in Norway's Trøndelag region, the site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. This structure, with a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles, serves as a navigational aid in the area.
Why it matters: The light's directional occulting signal, changing between white, red, and green, is specifically designed to guide vessels around local hazards or through narrow channels within this intricate Norwegian archipelago.
