Ritgrund - The Kvarken Archipelago, Finland

Video Taken on 4.6.22 of the Ritgrund lighthouse and mooring place in the Kvarken Archipelago on the west coast of Finand in the shores of the Baltic Sea. Located in the Gulf of Bothnia off the coast of Vaasa, the Kvarken Archipelago is the first Natural Heritage site in Finland, having been included on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2006. In conjunction with the High Coast of Sweden (also on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites), this area is unique in that the land is rising at the rate of 8-9mm per annum. The geological complex formed featuring this intensive land lift is constantly altering the shape and nature of the area. New islands gradually appear and unite, peninsulas expand, and bays become lakes which themselves develop into marshes and fens. It has been estimated that approximately 300 hectares of new land appears on the Swedish-speaking coast of Ostrobothnia annually. As a result of these endless environmental changes in the low-lying Kvarken, the fauna and flora present are constantly adapting to the continuous and rapid process of change all around them.
