Põrgatiga

Põrgatiga is a small Estonian island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Hiiumaa. It is part of the West Estonian Archipelago. The island is uninhabited and is characterized by its rocky shores and sparse vegetation. Its geographical coordinates place it in the northern part of the Estonian archipelago.

The island's name, "Põrgatiga," translates roughly to "with a rebound" or "with a bounce" in Estonian, though the exact etymology is not definitively established. It is a relatively small landmass, with a limited area, and is not a site of any significant human settlement or activity. Its ecological significance lies primarily in its role as a habitat for coastal birds and other marine wildlife.

Põrgatiga is not a tourist destination and is rarely visited by humans. Access to the island is typically by private boat, and due to its remote location and lack of amenities, it remains largely undisturbed. The surrounding waters are part of the Baltic Sea, and the island's marine environment is typical of the region, influenced by currents and salinity.
