Moniajoisten

Moniajoisten, also known as Moniajoisten Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the Gulf of Finland, off the coast of Estonia. The island is part of the larger Moniajoisten archipelago, which consists of several small islands and islets. Moniajoisten Island itself is approximately 1.5 kilometers long and 0.5 kilometers wide, with a total area of about 0.5 square kilometers.

The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of low-lying shrubs and grasses. The coastline is jagged and irregular, with numerous small coves and inlets. The island is known for its birdlife, with several species of seabirds nesting on its shores, including the common guillemot and the razorbill.

Moniajoisten Island is part of the Moniajoisten National Park, which was established in 1993 to protect the unique natural environment of the archipelago. The park covers an area of approximately 20 square kilometers and includes several other islands and islets in addition to Moniajoisten Island. The park is managed by the Estonian Nature Conservation Centre and is open to the public for recreational activities such as birdwatching, hiking, and photography.

The island is not accessible by road and can only be reached by boat. There are no facilities or amenities on the island, and visitors are advised to bring their own supplies and equipment. The island is also home to a small population of seals, which are protected under Estonian law. Visitors are advised to keep a safe distance from the seals and not to disturb their natural habitat.
