Ähas

Ähas is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Finland. It is part of the Åland archipelago. The island is characterized by its rugged, rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, typical of the outer islands in the region. Its size is approximately 500 square meters.

The island is of interest primarily for its ecological significance. It serves as a nesting ground for various seabird species, including common eider and arctic tern. The surrounding waters are rich in marine life, supporting a diverse ecosystem. Due to its remote location and lack of human habitation, Ähas remains a relatively pristine natural environment.

Access to Ähas is generally restricted to scientific research or conservation efforts. Its ecological sensitivity makes it a protected area, and unauthorized landings are discouraged to minimize disturbance to wildlife. The island's geological formation is consistent with the glacial history of the Baltic Sea region. There are no permanent structures or human-made features on Ähas. Its importance lies in its contribution to the biodiversity of the Åland Islands.
