Gjeslingene Lighthouse (Norwegian: Gjeslingene fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Vikna in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. It was established in 1877 and automated in 1987.[1]
Gjæslingan lighthouse stands on the islet of Haraldsøykråka in the South Gjæslingan island group on the north side of the Foldafjord. The white building consists of a 24.3-metre (80 ft) high red iron tower on a stone base. The white light flashes once every ten seconds, and it can be seen for about 14 nautical miles (26 km; 16 mi). The lighthouse also emits a "G" Racon signal.[2][3]
