Minni Minni Lighthouse

\n\n

The Minni Minni lighthouse has a long and storied history dating back to its construction in 1972.

\n\n

History

The Minni Minni lighthouse has a long and storied history dating back to its construction in 1972. Located on the remote island of Godzilla in the British Indian Ocean Territory, this narrow tower has stood watch over the surrounding waters for nearly five decades.
The Minni Minni lighthouse is a striking example of modern lighthouse design. Built using durable materials, the tower stands at an impressive 14 meters (46 feet) tall, with a focal height of 20 meters (66 feet). The structure's narrow profile belies its robust construction, which has allowed it to withstand the harsh tropical environment.
The lighthouse features a distinctive green light that is visible for up to 16 nautical miles. This unique pattern of three lights - one green, one white, and one red - serves as an important navigational aid for mariners traversing the surrounding waters.

\n\n

Current Status

The Minni Minni lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation, although it has been automated since its installation in 1972. While no longer manned by a resident keeper, the tower continues to provide critical guidance to ships and other vessels navigating the area.

\n\n

Location and Accessibility

Located on the island of Godzilla in the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Minni Minni lighthouse is accessible only by air or sea. The nearest airport is located on the nearby island of Diego Garcia, which can be reached by charter flight from Malé, the capital of the Maldives.

Visitors to the area must obtain special permission and follow strict guidelines due to the remote location and sensitive environment.

\n\n

Heritage Status

The Minni Minni lighthouse has been recognized as a significant cultural and historical landmark in the British Indian Ocean Territory. While not formally designated as a national monument, it is widely regarded as an important part of the region's maritime heritage.

\n\n

Notable Historical Events

While there are no specific notable events associated with the Minni Minni lighthouse, its construction in 1972 marked an important milestone in the development of navigation aids in the Indian Ocean. The tower's unique design and narrow profile have made it a popular subject among lighthouse enthusiasts and photographers.
