Punta Dungeness Lighthouse, Lighthouse at the entrance of Strait of Magellan, San Gregorio, Chile
The white tower of Punta Dungeness Lighthouse extends 25 meters into the sky, marking the eastern entrance between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Architect George Henry Slight completed the construction of this maritime guide in 1899, establishing a crucial navigational point for ships crossing the strait.
The Chilean Navy maintains this Historical Monument of Chile, which represents the maritime heritage of the Magellan and Chilean Antarctic Region.
The lighthouse continues its operational duties with an automated white light that flashes every ten seconds, visible from 22 nautical miles away.
A wire fence near the lighthouse marks the border between Chile and Argentina, creating an intersection of two nations at this remote location.
