Sandön Island in The Finnish Archipelago

in #travel6 years ago

Sandön is an island in the Finnish archipelago that I have visited many times in my life, both with my family and my friends.

It's a very unique island because of the sandbar that stretches a long way out into the sea.

Sandön is a part of the Salpausselkä, which is an extensive ridge system left by the ice age in Southern Finland. It is a large terminal moraine formation that formed in front of the Baltic ice lake during the Younger Dryas period about 12,250–10,400 years ago. Source

If you are driving a boat in this area you have to watch out for the sandbar. It could really surprise you!

These pictures were taken by my girlfriend when she visited the island with some friends about a month ago.

It was a pity that I couldn't join them. Maybe next summer!
