Lausesoos

Lausesoos, also known as *Lausesoos* or *Lausesoos Island*, is a small, uninhabited island located in the northern part of the Baltic Sea, near the coast of Estonia. The island is part of the Hiiumaa County and is situated in the open sea, approximately 15 kilometers off the western coast of Hiiumaa Island. Due to its remote location and lack of infrastructure, Lausesoos is primarily of interest to sailors, birdwatchers, and nature enthusiasts.

The island is characterized by its rugged coastline, rocky shores, and sparse vegetation, typical of many Baltic Sea islands. It is known for its rich biodiversity, particularly as a nesting site for seabirds such as gulls, cormorants, and puffins. The area surrounding Lausesoos is also a significant part of the larger Hiiumaa Archipelago, which is recognized for its ecological importance.

Historically, Lausesoos has not been heavily developed, and there are no permanent settlements or facilities on the island. It is occasionally visited by fishermen and researchers studying marine life and bird migration patterns. The island’s isolation and natural beauty make it a subject of interest for those exploring the Baltic Sea’s lesser-known coastal regions.

Access to Lausesoos is typically by boat, as there are no roads or docking facilities. Visitors usually arrive from nearby islands like Hiiumaa or from the mainland, relying on small vessels or guided tours. Due to its remote nature, the island remains largely undisturbed, preserving its wild and untouched character.
