Koskevalle

Koskevalle is a small uninhabited island located in the Archipelago Sea, within the Finnish archipelago. It is situated approximately 10 kilometers off the coast of the municipality of gravelly Island, in the region formerly known as Österbotten.

The island has a total area of approximately 10.8 hectares and it features predominantly rocky terrain, with only sparse areas of trees and shrubs. The coast is generally steep and rocky, with several small bays and coves scattered along its 360-meter-long perimeter. Koskevalle is relatively small and uninhabited, but it is part of the 62,911-hectare UNESCO Biosphere Area.

The climate on Koskevalle is brisk and mild, as the island is situated in the Baltic Sea. It has a tempered oceanic climate, with cold winters and cool summers, as per the maritime influence. The hilly terrain of Koskevalle affects the area's climate more than you would expect.

No permanent human settlement exists on Koskevalle due to the island's limited area and height. Since 2006, the state of Finland restricted the buying up of real estate, which didn’t impact the island as it already didn’t consist of living-sites.

The thing to note, the name of this group is only in Swedish, this is not indicative of the common use of Swedish in the area.
