Jussarö Lighthouse
Jussarö Lighthouse (Swedish: ''Jussarö fyr'', Finnish: ''Jussarön majakka'' or ''Jussaaren majakka'') is a lighthouse situated on the skerry of Sundharu, approximately south of the island of Jussarö, outside Raseborg, in the western part of the Gulf of Finland. The lighthouse is more correctly called the Sundharu Lighthouse, to distinguish it from an earlier one located on Jussarö itself, which the current structure replaced. The first illuminated lighthouse in the area was built on Jussarö in the late 1880s, along with the accommodation and service buildings for the lighthouse keepers and pilots and their families. This lighthouse was lit in 1891. There were, however, structural and technical problems with its operation, for which reason a new lighthouse was built on the uninhabited Sundharu skerry to the south of Jussarö, and lit in 1922, when the old light was deactivated. The new Sundharu Lighthouse was the first in Finland designed to be automatically-operated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mining Communities In Finland
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef, or placer deposit. The exploitation of these deposits for raw material is based on the economic viability of investing in the equipment, labor, and energy required to extract, refine and transport the materials found at the mine to manufacturers who can use the material. Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. Mining is required to obtain most materials that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or feasibly created artificially in a laboratory or factory. Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource such as petroleum, natural gas, or even water. Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the de ...
