The Cape San Pablo Lighthouse is located 50 km south-east of the city of Río Grande, in the department of Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina. It is situated on Cape San Pablo at a very characteristic isolated mountain that is a prominent formation on the coast line.[1]

History

The construction of the lighthouse started on March 15, 1945. In December 1949, there was a seismic movement that bent the tower. This situation forced the removal of the illumination equipment and the deactivation of the signal. In 1966, the rebuilding of the lighthouse was organized.[1]

Nowadays, the lighthouse consists of a yellow pyramid-shaped tower, 6 meters in height, with a black triangle with its vertex upside down. There is a platform located at the top section which holds a luminance lantern fuelled by solar energy having an optic range of 12.5 nautical miles.[2]
