Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Beagle Channel, Argentina.
The red and white cylindrical tower rises 11 meters above a masonry base on the northeasternmost island of Les Eclaireurs, 9 kilometers from Ushuaia.
The Argentine Navy initiated construction in December 1918, completing the structure in January 1919, though operations began in December 1920 due to material limitations.
Local residents often refer to this brick structure as the Lighthouse at the End of the World, creating confusion with San Juan de Salvamento lighthouse.
The lighthouse emits white flashes every ten seconds visible up to 19 kilometers and red flashes visible up to 13 kilometers using solar-powered technology.
The lighthouse maintains its original brick construction while featuring a single western-facing door and no windows in its structural design.
