Atol das Rocas Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Rocas Atoll, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
The white lighthouse tower rises from a circular coral reef formation, marking the northeast point of the Brazilian maritime border.
Following numerous shipwrecks near Rocas Atoll, including the 1805 incidents of HMS Britannia and HMS King George, authorities established the first light signal in 1883.
The lighthouse remains an essential element of Brazilian maritime infrastructure, supporting navigation safety for vessels traversing the Atlantic waters.
The structure operates on solar power through photovoltaic panels and batteries, maintaining continuous illumination for maritime traffic throughout the year.
Located on a two-kilometer diameter coral formation, this lighthouse stands where eighteen documented shipwrecks occurred throughout maritime history.
