Viisikulmiota

Viisikulmiota is a small Finnish island located in the Gulf of Finland. It is situated approximately 10 kilometers off the coast of Kymenlaakso, a region in the province of Kymenlaakso. The island is part of the Kymi municipality and has a total area of approximately 132 hectares.

There is no permanent population on Viisikulmiota, but the island is occasionally used as shelter for sailors and fishermen. The island's landscape is mostly composed of rocky outcroppings and sandy beaches, with scattered clusters of trees and bushes. The island's highest point is approximately 25 meters above sea level.

Historically, Viisikulmiota has been used for various purposes, including as a site for granite quarrying and as a shelter for fishermen during wartime. There are no notable buildings or structures on the island, but there are remnants of the granite quarrying activities, including old rail tracks and ore storage facilities.

Today, Viisikulmiota remains a relatively isolated and untouched area, with limited human activity. The island's natural environment is mainly regulated by the Natural Environment Centre of Metsähallitus, a Finnish national organization responsible for the management of natural habitats. The centre works to preserve the island's natural diversity and mitigate the impact of human activities on the area. As a result, Viisikulmiota has maintained its natural beauty and served as an important habitat for various species, including seabirds and other marine life.
