Hoburgen, Sea stack formation on Storsudret peninsula, Gotland Municipality, Sweden.
The limestone cliffs of Hoburgen form a natural wall that drops vertically into the Baltic Sea, creating a distinct geological formation at the southern tip of Gotland island.
The strategic location of Hoburgen made it an essential navigational point for Viking sailors traversing the Baltic Sea waters during their maritime expeditions.
The Hoburgsgubben sea stack formation has influenced local folklore, leading to its recognition in astronomy with an asteroid named after this geological structure.
The weather station at Hoburgen supplies regular maritime forecasts and maintains records of the regional climate, documenting annual precipitation of 500.6 millimeters.
The maritime climate of Hoburgen creates unusual temperature patterns where August temperatures exceed July, contrary to typical Swedish seasonal variations.
