Nykön

Nykön is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Sweden. Administratively, it falls under the municipality of Värmdö in Stockholm County. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, typical of the Swedish archipelago environment. Nykön is relatively close to the mainland, making it accessible by small boat, though it is not a designated landing site or tourist destination.

Historically, the island has had limited human interaction, primarily serving as a navigational point for local fishermen and mariners. There are no permanent structures on Nykön, and its ecological significance lies in its role as a habitat for various seabirds and marine life common to the Baltic Sea. Its geological formation is a result of glacial activity, leaving behind a landscape of smoothed rocks and small inlets. The waters surrounding Nykön are shallow in some areas, with submerged rocks posing a hazard to navigation. The island remains largely undisturbed, contributing to the natural biodiversity of the region.
