Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse - Beagel Channel, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina - Drawing Waymarks on Waymarking.com

The brick-built tower is 11 metres (36 ft) high and 3 metres (10 ft) wide at the base, with its windowless wall painted red-white-red and topped by a black lantern housing and gallery.

The lighthouse is still in operation, is remote-controlled, automated, uninhabited and is not open to the public, guarding the sea entrance to Ushuaia. Electricity is supplied by solar panels. The lighthouse was put into service on December 23, 1920.

It is a popular tourist attraction, reached on short boat tours from Ushuaia. It is known to the Argentines as the Lighthouse at the End of the World (Faro del fin del mundo), although that name is misleading.

My waymark "Ushuaia - Tierra del Fuego, Argentina" in the category 1000 Places to See Before You Die, was just approved today. The 5th photo shows Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.

The coordinates are slightly south of the island where the boat was when I took the photo and drew the lighthouse.
