AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
New AirVuz contributor JrE DroneFilm brings us this excellent drone video of one of Norway's most well-known lighthouses. Lindesnes Lighthouse is located near the very southern tip of the country, just a few km/mi from the town of Høllen in Agder County. The original structure here, an important location which marks the western entrance to the Skagerrak strait that separates Norway from Sweden, dates to the mid-17th century. The current lighthouse, which is made of cast-iron, was completed in 1915. It stands 16 meters tall (53 ft.).

Fantastic day with quiet sea, some of her strangely out by Lindesnes lighthouse. Lindesnes lighthouse is Norway's oldest lighthouse, located almost at the southern tip of the Lindesnes Peninsula in Lindesnes municipality. February 27, 1656, Norway's first candlelight was lit here. This was extinguished in the fall of the same year, due to complaints of poor light. But it is still believed that the lighthouse was founded in 1656. It was no coincidence that Lindesnes just became the place where the first lighthouse in Norway was lit. Ever since the Middle Ages, Lindesnes, or Neset, as the place was called, has been one of the most important landmarks for sailing between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindesnes_fyr
