Sünsfeltets

Sünsfeltets is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, approximately 10 kilometers off the coast of the Swedish island of Öland. The island is part of the Kalmarsund archipelago and is known for its unique geological features and diverse wildlife. Sünsfeltets is characterized by its steep cliffs and rocky terrain, which provide a habitat for various bird species, including seabirds and migratory birds. The island is also home to a small colony of seals, which use the rocky shores for breeding and resting.

The island's name, Sünsfeltets, is derived from the Swedish word "süns," which means "sin," and "feltets," which means "the place." The name is believed to have been given to the island by early settlers who saw it as a place of sin or transgression, possibly due to its remote location and harsh conditions. Despite its name, Sünsfeltets is a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, who come to the island to observe its unique wildlife and enjoy its scenic beauty.

The island is owned and managed by the Swedish Nature Conservation Agency, which has implemented measures to protect its natural environment and wildlife. Visitors to Sünsfeltets are required to follow specific guidelines to minimize their impact on the island's ecosystem. These guidelines include staying on designated paths, not disturbing wildlife, and not collecting or removing any plants or animals from the island. The Nature Conservation Agency also monitors the island's wildlife populations and conducts research to better understand and protect its unique ecosystem.
