Lentotuhkalla

Lentotuhkalla is a small uninhabited island in the Gulf of Finland, within the Helsinki archipelago of Uusimaa, Finland. The island is situated approximately 70 kilometers southwest of Helsinki, the capital city of Finland.

The name "Lentotuhkalla" means "feather dress" or "flying gown" in Finnish. Lentotuhkalla Island is a part of the larger Nuuksio National Park area, which covers approximately 115 square kilometers in southwestern Uusimaa, Finland. The island's rugged terrain and diverse geology are characteristic of the greater Nuuksio region.

Lentotuhkalla Island is located near the municipal borders of Espoo and Kirkkonummi. Finnish law designates the island as private property, belonging to the residents of the cities in the surrounding vicinity. Access to the island is typically restricted to landowners or, with special permission, allowed to public users for direct recreation within the city limits. The area around Helsinki is accessible by public transportation.

Geologically, Lentotuhkalla Island is composed primarily of granite and gneiss. These igneous and metamorphic rocks date back to the Paleoproterozoic era, when significant volcanic and tectonic events took place worldwide. Similar geological structures can be found within the nearby Nuuksio region and potentially in other parts of Finland.

Due to its remote and limited accessibility, specific information about human visits, usage patterns, and the ecosystems on Lentotuhkalla Island is not readily available.
