Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse

Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, located at the southern tip of Argentina, near Tierra del Fuego, is a historic maritime navigational aid built in 1922. It stands on a small, rocky islet and guides ships safely through the often foggy and treacherous waters of the Drake Passage. The lighthouse is notable for its distinctive, traditional design with a white tower and red roof, and it remains an important symbol of maritime heritage. Accessible mainly by boat, it serves both as a navigational point and a popular destination for travelers interested in maritime history and scenic views.
