This page shows the documentation of
the Central Lighthouses of West Norway. You can
always click on the photo of the light to go to a specific (larger
resolution) copy. Each lighthouse name is linked to (in our editorial
opinion) the best reference site for that light.
I would like to include directions on
how to get to these lights. If you know such data, could you eMail
me
and I'll post it here (with your choice of attribution.)
There has been significant usage of the
Lighthouse Directory
prepared by Russ Rowlett (UNC). Lighthouse coordinates are via
Norsk Fyr. My thanks to them for providing this basis
for understanding.

Grip (Flatharskallen
Range Rear) Until it was automated in 1977, this must have been one
of the most difficult Norwegian stations for keepers. Located on a bare
skerry, swept by the waves in every storm, about 6.5 km north of
Kristiansund. Accessible only by boat in dangerous seas.
