The Finnish archipelago is unique and a tourist attraction - you find at least 180,000 islands in Finland (220,000 according to Wikipedia. 88,000 of them are amid the 188,000 lakes - the rest in the sea. If you open the article, and then click "the Kvarken archipelago" you find the archipelago outside of the coast where I live. In my opinion, it's not as beautiful as the archipelago in southern Finland, but what makes Kvarken archipelago unique, and a UNESCO world heritage, is that the land is rising at the rate of 8-9 millimeters per year, which is around 1 square kilometer of new land area every year (there are areas in our world that are sinking).
