The Stockholm Archipelago

Abstract

The Stockholm archipelago is a brackish-water archipelago that extends along the Swedish east coast, just south of the border between the Bothnian Sea and the northern Baltic Proper. The Stockholm archipelago stretches about 200 km from Singö in the north to Nynäshamn in the south (Fig. 14.1). A nearly continuous belt of islands stretches eastwards from the Stockholm archipelago across to the Åland islands and the Åbo archipelago in Finland.
