North Clifford Island (Gyeongnyeolbido)
South Korea
It has been very difficult to find any information regarding this lighthouse.
The original lighthouse was built in 1909 atop an isolated island 50km west of Anheung in the Yellow Sea.
I was unable to find any photographs of the original lighthouse. The island is only accessible by boat and it appears that access is restricted. The new lighthouse was established in 2011 presumably in the same vicinity.
