Which one lighthouse is the biggest one of the tower body diameter all over the world ?

The tower of the greatest diameter that I am aware of is Wolf Rock. The base diameter is 42 feet.

Isn't there a wider one somewhere in the eastern part of Russia? Off Sakhalin island? (not sure if I'm spelling that right).

Perhaps this is the light you mention.

Sakhalin island----Aniva Light,

That's the one. Powered by an interesting little nuclear pile if memory serves me right.

Its a shame its so isolated -- that's one of the lighthouses I'd like to visit.
