Shepelyovsky lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Gulf of Finland, Russia.
The Shepelyovsky lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower with a red lantern room standing in the Gulf of Finland. This structure marks important shipping channels and helps vessels navigate safely through these waters.
The lighthouse was built in the mid-20th century as part of the Soviet Union's network of navigation aids along the Russian coast. It represented technological advances of that era in supporting maritime operations.
The lighthouse reflects Russia's commitment to maritime safety and remains a symbol of seafaring heritage in the Baltic region. It serves as a visible reminder of the importance of protecting ships passing through these busy waters.
The lighthouse is located at coordinates 59.985556, 29.127778 and is best viewed from the water. Keep in mind that this is an active navigation aid that plays an important role for passing vessels.
The lighthouse uses radioisotope thermoelectric generators that convert heat from radioactive decay into electrical power. This technology allows the tower to operate completely independently for extended periods.
