Vegaøyan – the Vega Archipelago
The remarkable co-existence between Eider ducks and humans during the birds’ breeding season  led to the Vega islands being declared a World Heritage Site in 2004 and the archipelago continues to bear testimony to the sustainable methods of fishing and farming that have maintained the ecological balance for over 1,500 years.

In 2009 the islands made the English newspaper The Guardian’s list of  “20 undiscovered island gems”

Höga Kusten/Kvarken archipelago
Designated a World Heritage Site in 2000, Höga Kusten has the highest recorded land rise rate in the world. Since the retreat of the ice at the end of the last Ice Age, it has risen 286m and continues to rise a further 8mm every year. The result is a section of coast with the steep beaches of Höga Kusten and the lower-lying flat Kvarken archipelago. Topographic opposites which have created a geological entity.
