10 Most Isolated Lighthouses in the World


Light houses are magical things that create a spark of both wonder and joy to those that appreciate them. On one hand they represent nature allowing us to escape the bustles of city life and soak in some quality time on the fringe, enjoying the solace of both the sea and land, while providing the necessary beacon on light to ships at sea eager to land on terra firma. On the other hand light houses can be quite lonely depending on where they are located, and history has given us many a books and journals written by light house keepers that can go weeks or months without seeing a soul. Below are a collection of beautiful but isolated lighthouses around the world.

Chara Sands- The Freezing Siberian Desert

It’s hard to believe it, but freezing cold Siberia has a desert of its own, the Chara Sands. We’re not talking about a desert with oases and camels, but one with reindeer and bears instead! It’s located in a tundra area, with snowed capped mountain peaks surrounding it, some 280 miles east of the world’s largest freshwater reservoir, lake Baikal. The Chara Sands are a phenomenon you’ll find nowhere else in Siberia, and some think that’s a shame, as the remote place delivers amazing views. The contrast between the cold mountains and the warm-colored desert sand is stunning. For those who may want to see it but fear getting lost in the desert, don’t be afraid, the Chara Sands is only 7 miles long and 3 miles wide.
