About Vikna Southside Lighthouses Lighthouse
The Vikna Southside Lighthouse is a 3-meter octagonal lantern structure situated on Lille Lyngøy, an island approximately 1.6 kilometers east of Rørvik. Painted white with a red roof, its focal height reaches 9 meters above sea level. The operational light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 6 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for maritime safety along Norway's inside passage, specifically guiding ships through a critical tight turn in the Nærøysund strait. Its directional light, shifting between white, red, and green, provides precise navigation cues essential for avoiding potential hazards in this busy waterway.
