Aniva Lighthouse

The Aniva Lighthouse is an  abandoned lighthouse located on Cape Aniva in the very south of Sakhalin Island in the East of Russia. The height of the building is 31 meters, the height of the light is 40 meters above sea level. It was built by Japan in 1938-1940, and abandoned in 2006 after an eventful life. Since then, it is gradually destroyed by water and wind, and has become a tourist attraction.

The first postcard was sent by Veniamin (Russia) after a visit to the lighthouse. The postcard below was sent by Eduard two years ago.
