This page shows the documentation of the Southern 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). LHDirectory Lighthouse coordinates and orange reference numbers are via Norsk Fyr. My thanks to them for providing this basis for understanding. NorskFyr |
