Old lighthouse Saltstraumen in June 2005. It stands near by the northeastern pier of the brigde about the straumen. The saltstraumen is the strongest tidal current of the world. The old light was taken off by the new lighthouse Saltstraumen, which was added to the pier. At the upper picture the incoming current into the Skjerstadfjorden is visible in the background. More informations about the tidal current you can find at the new lighthouses page.
