Utö, Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Utö is a small island in the Archipelago Sea in the Baltic sea and belongs to Väståboland municipality. It is the southernmost year-round inhabited island in Finland. On the island there's a lighthouse, pilot station, a small guest harbour, a shop and a post office. Due to the remoteness of the island, the island has its own local school. In former times, Finnish Defence Forces kept a small station on the island, but left the island in 2005. The island is internationally best known as the first rescue station of the Estonia disaster in September 1994.
