Giske inMøre og Romsdal county on the west coast ofNorway . This remote lighthouse is located on a tiny skerry about 6 km due north ofErkna and 8 km northwest of the populated island ofVigra .The lighthouse was only accessible by boat in calm seas during the summer, as not boats could land on the tiny island. Goods and people had to be hoisted on to the island from the sea. From
1970 and until the lighthouse was automated in1980 , transport to the lighthouse was done by helicopter. The narrow 4X4 meter landing pad could only be used by very experienced pilots.
