Colombier Islands Light

The Colombier Islands Light, also known as the Burnt Islands Lighthouse, is located on the southwest coast of Newfoundland in Canada. It was built in 1929 as a fog alarm and was later replaced by a new tower in 1971. The lighthouse has a quadrangular skeletal tower with a balcony and lantern, and is constructed on a concrete base with an aluminum skeletal structure.

The lighthouse is situated near the community of Burnt Islands, which was established in the mid-19th century as a fishing village. The area is known for its rich fishing grounds and sheltered harbour, making it an ideal location for fishermen. Today, the community is home to a fish processing plant and a small population of around 540 residents.

The Colombier Islands Light is still operational and guides mariners through the surrounding waters. Its fog signal is heard every 30 seconds, providing a vital warning to ships and boats in the area. The lighthouse is an important part of the region's maritime history and continues to play a crucial role in ensuring safe navigation in the area.
