The map above showcases the lighthouses that are scattered along the coastlines of Great Britain and Ireland, each glowing like a tiny star against the dark backdrop of the sea.
These beacons of light trace the shores, forming a celestial-like pattern that mirrors the guiding role they have played for sailors throughout history and beyond.
In the whole Irish island, there are more than 50 illuminated lighthouses, and there are hundreds more of them along the British Isles.
With a dark expanse enhancing their brilliance, the illuminated points stand out, as these reveal the intricate web of lighthouses that have long safeguarded these waters for everyone that passes them.
