Tändhuvudet

Tändhuvudet is a small island located off the coast of Skåne, Sweden. It is situated in the southernmost part of the country, in the Baltic Sea. The island is approximately 0.5 square kilometers in size and has a low, flat surface.

Tändhuvudet is a Johnstone Reef, which is a type of sandbank that forms in shallow water. The island's shape and size can vary depending on the tides, as it is partially submerged at high tide. Despite its small size, Tändhuvudet can be an important navigation aid due to its location and distinctive shape.

Historically, Tändhuvudet has been used as a navigation landmark for mariners traveling through the Baltic Sea. The island's visibility from a distance, particularly during daylight hours, has made it a valuable reference point for sailors. However, navigation technology has improved significantly over the centuries, and Tändhuvudet is no longer considered a critical aid to navigation.

The island has been subject to various surveys and studies over the years. These investigations have provided valuable information about the water depth and sediment composition of the surrounding area. Today, Tändhuvudet is relatively unknown to the general public, but its significance as a historic maritime reference point remains acknowledged by marine experts.
