Östra Kvarken. Namn på 1) ett svenskt geografiskt område samt på 2) en svensk fyrskeppsstation i Norra Kvarken. Östra Kvarken var verksam som fyrskeppsstation 1924-1960. Ersatt av kassunfyren Nordvalen.
Grundområdet
Området Kvarken ligger mellan Bottenviken och Bottenhavet, ungefär i jämnhöjd med Umeå på svenska sidan och Vasa och Jakobstad på finska sidan. En undervattensås går mellan svenska och finska sidan med ett flertal öar, skär och grund. Holmöarna delar området i Västra resp Östra Kvarken. Norr om Holmöarna ligger Stora Fjäderägg och i södra delen Holmögadd.
Gränsen mellan Sverige och Finland går genom Östra Kvarken, som är cirka 20 M som smalast och med mycket ojämn topografi med många grund med branta kanter. Lodet var därför inte "tjänligt som varnare" enligt äldre beskrivningar. Området var riskfyllt och fram till första världskriget ofullständigt sjömätt. På finska sidan finns flera fyrar samt fanns fyrskeppet Snipan.
