Skellig Michael Lighthouse

0
(0)
The Skellig Michael Lighthouse complex consists of historic lighthouse buildings constructed in the 19th century to guide ships through the dangerous Atlantic waters off the Kerry coast. The structures sit dramatically on the lower slopes of Skellig Michael island. Visiting or viewing the Skellig Michael Lighthouse highlights the island’s maritime history and the challenges faced by lighthouse keepers working in extreme isolation.
