đ Yxlan in the context of Stockholm Archipelago
The Stockholm Archipelago (Swedish: Stockholms skÀrgÄrd) is the largest archipelago in Sweden, and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea (the largest being the Archipelago Sea across the Baltic in Finland). Part of the archipelago has been designated as a Ramsar site since 1989.
Stockholm Archipelago has been found to have slightly over 24,000 islands, islets and skerries and covers approximately 1,700 kmÂČ of which approximately 530 kmÂČ is land. There are around 10,000 permanent residences and 50,000 holiday homes in the archipelago. Residents are found on all the larger islands closest to the coast that have fixed bridges or ferry connections with road ferries, such as Vaxholm, Ingarö, VĂ€rmdö, Yxlan, Blidö, Ljusterö and VĂ€ddö, but also on many of the larger islands farther out from the coast, as Ingmarsö, Möja, Runmarö, NĂ€mdö, Ornö and Utö, which are served by passenger ships with fixed itineraries.
