Flötjan

Flotjan

Flötjan is a small rocky islet in Finland. It is located in the Åland Sea to the southwest of Lågskär. Depths near Flötjan measure approximately 180 metres (590 ft).[1] The original light was badly damaged during World War II. A concrete lighthouse tower was built in 1953 and automated in 1959. The light range is 28 kilometres (17 mi). The Stockholm-Mariehamn-Tallinn ferry passes just to the west of the island.
