Unusual species
In the Luleå Archipelago, there are many different types of natural environment, and they all blend together in a remarkably fascinating way.
Among the interesting phenomena are the diversified natural scenery, with its large variety of biotopes supporting many different species, and the change in the occurrence of species the further out towards the limits of the Archipelago one goes.
On the shores of the islands, there are some species, primarily endemic, that are of special interest - for instance beach euphrasy (Euphrasia bottnica), Bothnian wormwood (Artemisia bottnica) and yellow hairgrass (Deschampsia bottnica).
On many of the islands in the Archipelago you will find both forest landscapes, similar to the inland forests, and barren moors and cliffs, typical of the seaward regions of an archipelago. The island forests attract a number of game birds - ptarmigan, black grouse and capercailzie; on the other hand some of the sea birds, such as black guillemots and razorbills, never fly in towards the mainland. They nest in cracks in the cliffs, far out towards the open sea.
