On the shore of an ancient island

The top of the mountain has been above the sea and is notably lusher than the slopes washed by the waves. Pine, birch, and sea buckthorn grew on an area of about a square kilometre large. The natural conditions were that of an outer island, as the mainland was nearly 30 kilometres away.

Humans were moving in the area right after the ice age. Traces of this can be found in the hollows in the boulder field. The seal hunters and the fishers have likely used them as storage holes. Later the area remained a wilderness as habitation followed the receding sea shore.
