national park inSouthern Finland . It was established in 1982 and covers convert|6.7|km2|sqmi|1 on land. The park consist only of small (under 1 km²) islands and islets, some of which grow forest, mostly pine trees.Most of the islands are treeless rocks with sheer shores. Their sheerness is due to the
rapakivi granite splitting in a sharply cubical manner.The national park is known for its aquatic bird fauna. The most common aquatic birds are the
Goosander andTufted Duck . Also e.g. theRazorbill andBlack Guillemot nest on the park's protected islands.See also
