Alettava

Alettava is a small, uninhabited island located in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. Its precise geographical coordinates place it approximately 5 kilometers east of the Finnish mainland. The island is characterized by its rocky coastline and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of hardy grasses and low-lying shrubs adapted to the harsh maritime environment.

The geological formation of Alettava is believed to be a result of glacial activity during the last Ice Age, leaving behind a moraine deposit that forms the island's core. Due to its remote location and lack of freshwater sources, Alettava has never been permanently inhabited. Historically, it may have served as a temporary resting place for fishermen or as a navigational landmark.

The surrounding waters are known for their shallow depths and numerous small skerries, making navigation around Alettava potentially challenging for larger vessels. The local marine ecosystem supports a variety of seabirds, which utilize the island for nesting and foraging. Due to its protected status as part of a larger nature reserve, human access to Alettava is restricted to minimize disturbance to its wildlife and fragile environment. Conservation efforts focus on preserving the natural state of the island and its surrounding waters.
