About Steintangskjerflua Lighthouse
This skeletal concrete tower, standing 7 meters tall, is located off the northeastern point of Tustna in Norway, marking the entrance to a narrow channel. The structure features a lantern and gallery mounted on tripod piles. Its light emits two white flashes on an 8-second cycle, with red and green sectors, visible for 8.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat but the tower itself is closed to the public. It was established to aid navigation in this island-dotted coastal region.
Why it matters: Steintangskjerflua is indispensable for safe navigation through the constricted channel between Tustna and Stabben, a passage that would be perilous without its guidance. Its unique directional light system, displaying white, red, or green depending on the approach, specifically warns mariners of the precise alignment needed to avoid shoals and ensure a clear path through this intricate waterway.
