This was shot as we approached Faro Les Eclaireurs.  The lighthouse was built of brick in 1920 and stands 36' tall with a focal plane of 74'.  The lighthouse has a flash signature of a white flash every 10 sec, which I got to see at night as our vessel the Carnival Splendor rounded the lighthouse as we turned west on the Beagle Channel en route from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas, Chile.
