The Haparanda archipelago (Swedish: Haparanda skärgård) is a group of 792 Swedish islands in the north part of the Bay of Bothnia.
Caused By: Post-Glacial Rebound, Article text, process Post-Glacial Rebound
It is divided into the archipelagos of Piteå (550 islands), Luleå (1,312 islands), Kalix (792 islands) and Haparanda (652 islands). Due to post-glacial rebound the land is rising at from 0.8 to 1 centimetre (0.31 to 0.39 in) annually, so the shoreline can retreat by as much as 100 metres (330 ft) in one person's lifetime.
