Besselsummer

Besselsummer is a small, uninhabited island located in the Kattegat strait, off the coast of Sweden. It is part of the municipality of Norrtälje in Stockholm County. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of grasses and low-lying shrubs. Its coastline is rugged, with small coves and inlets.

The island's name, Besselsummer, is of Swedish origin, though its exact etymology is not widely documented. It is not a significant tourist destination and receives very few visitors. Its primary ecological value lies in its role as a habitat for various seabirds that nest and forage in the surrounding waters. The marine environment around Besselsummer is rich in biodiversity, supporting a range of fish species and marine invertebrates.

Due to its remote location and lack of infrastructure, Besselsummer remains largely untouched by human development. There are no permanent settlements or structures on the island. Its geographical position places it within an area that experiences moderate weather patterns, influenced by the Baltic Sea. The island is a natural feature within the Swedish archipelago, contributing to the overall landscape of the region.
