Haparanda Archipelago National Park

Haparanda Archipelago National Park is a coastal protected area in the far north of Sweden, situated in the Bothnian Bay (Bottenviken) just west of the Finnish border. The park encompasses a chain of islands that have emerged from the sea relatively recently in geological terms—within the last 1,500 years—due to post-glacial rebound, the ongoing rise of land following the retreat of the last ice age. This dynamic process continues today at approximately 8.5 millimeters per year, meaning the islands are steadily growing and expanding. The archipelago features two main islands, Sandskär and Seskar Furö, along with numerous smaller islands and rocky reefs. The landscape is characterized by extensive sandy beaches and prominent dune formations, a rarity in this northern Baltic region. The park lies adjacent to Finland's Perämeri National Park, forming a cross-border protected landscape along this remote stretch of coastline.
