Built in 1913, Sark Lighthouse stands on Point Robert with its light 65m above sealevel. Sark is a rocky island with no proper natural harbour, passenger boats use tiny Maseline harbour with its rock tunnel leading to the road/path up Harbour Hill.

Súgandiseyjarviti at sunrise

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 09:53:40 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

Súgandisey is a small basaltic island sheltering Styykishólmur harbour. Situated on the island's highest point, the lighthouse from 1948 is only 3,5m high but that suffices to assist navigation through the many islands of Breiðafjörður and into Stykkishólmur harbour which is the ferry port for the Westfjords.

Bjargtangaviti

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 09:19:32 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

The lighthouse at Bjargtangar in its present form dates from 1948. It sits on a high cliff. so the light's focal plane is 60m above the sea even though the building is only 6m high.

This lighthouse on Iceland's westernmost point is also the westernmost building in Europe.

We visited on a very windy day and only saw one solitary puffin on the famous bird cliffs of Látrabjarg, all others had either hidden in their burrows or were out at sea. Going near the cliff edge definitely wasn't an option in the storm;-)

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 08:31:15 +0000

Gudrun has posted:

The small (5m high) coastal lighthouse at Fuglenesodden, Hammerfest, was established in 1859 and active until 1911 when it was replaced by an automated light. It is part of the Fuglenesodden Outdoor Museum.
The building on the right is not an outhouse but the oljehuset (oil house), used for storing the paraffin needed to operate the lighthouse.
