Keräs

Keräs is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Finland. It is part of the municipality of Åland, an autonomous region of Finland. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, typical of the Åland archipelago. Its geographical coordinates are approximately 60.15 degrees North latitude and 20.50 degrees East longitude.

The island has a minimal ecological footprint, with hardy coastal flora adapted to the harsh conditions. Birdlife is present, with species common to the Baltic Sea region utilizing the island for nesting and resting. Due to its remote location and lack of amenities, Keräs is not a tourist destination. Access to the island is generally limited to private boat owners or during specific, organized expeditions.

There is no permanent human settlement on Keräs, and its primary significance lies in its contribution to the natural landscape of the Åland archipelago. The island's existence and characteristics are a testament to the geological and ecological processes that shape coastal environments in this part of the Baltic. Its name, "Keräs," is of Swedish origin, reflecting the historical and linguistic influences in the Åland Islands.
