New Island

New Island (Finnish: Uusisaari) is about 350 meters long rocky island in the District of Kingsland. It is located about six kilometers south of the port of Ajos. There is also a lighthouse named Keminkraaseli on the island, which guides ships. It is fully operated by foreigners.

Lighthouse
The lighthouse was built in the summer of 1937. The lighthouse was cast from reinforced concrete and shaped to withstand the pressure of ice coming over a small reef in the winter. At first, its light equipment was acetylene-based, nowadays it is powered by wind power. The lighthouse tower was painted white at the bottom and black at the top.
