Islands and Archipelagos

The Lulea archipelago is a group of Swedish islands in the northern Bay of Bothnia, lying offshore from the city of Lulea and the mouth of the Lule River. A few of the islands have small permanent populations, but most are used only for summer recreation, and the archipelago is icebound during winter.

  • Lead section
    The Luleå archipelago (Swedish: Luleå skärgård or Lule skärgård) is a group of Swedish islands in the north part of the Bay of Bothnia.
  • Caused By: Post-Glacial Rebound, Article text, process Post-Glacial Rebound
    Many of the islands are uninhabited, in a natural state, and are quite small with little or nothing in the way of facilities for visitors. 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.
