The Lamp Post is the only known off-island DHARMA station. It is located in Los Angeles under a church, built on top of a pocket of electromagnetic energy similar to that on the island. This station was used by the DHARMA initiative to find the island. As the island is constantly moving, the researchers developed an equation to predict where the island would be in the future, thereby providing a window of opportunity to reach it. A large pendulum (resembling a Foucault Pendulum) hangs from the ceiling making chalk marks on a map on the floor beneath. Many computers surround the pendulum, along with a panel on the wall that marks latitude and longitude. Eloise Hawking is currently in charge of the station, and uses it to help the Oceanic 6 return to the island with the assistance of Ben Linus.
Just warning you, that if you haven't watched the whole show might see some information before you are ready. To help with that we have this nifty filter. Just set it to the episode you you are upto, and we'll do our best not to spoil anything.
