Flänsarnas

Flänsarnas is a small, uninhabited island located in the archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden. It is situated in the outer part of the archipelago, facing the Baltic Sea. The island is characterized by its rocky shores and sparse vegetation, typical of many islands in this region. Geologically, it is composed of granite, a common bedrock in the Stockholm archipelago.

The name "Flänsarnas" is of Swedish origin. While the exact etymology is not definitively documented, it is believed to be related to the Swedish word "fläns," which can refer to a flange or a projecting edge. This might allude to the island's shape or its rocky outcrops. The island holds no significant historical settlements or notable human activity recorded in public records.

Due to its remote location and lack of infrastructure, Flänsarnas is primarily of interest to naturalists and those exploring the Stockholm archipelago. Its waters are part of the marine environment of the Baltic Sea, supporting local flora and fauna. Access to the island is typically by private boat. Conservation efforts in the broader archipelago area aim to preserve the natural habitats of such islands.
