An Isolated Danger Mark, as defined by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities, is a sea mark used in maritime pilotage to indicate a hazard to shipping such as a partially submerged rock.[1]
It is recognisable by its black and red bands and top-mark of two black balls.[1]
Its distinctive sequence of flashing white light consists of 2 quick flashes in intervals of either 5 or 10 seconds.[2]
