Kachelotplate, High sand in East Frisian Islands, Germany.
Kachelotplate extends over 3 kilometers in length and reaches a width of 1.3 kilometers, covering an area of 1.72 square kilometers.
The sandbar first appeared on maps in 1840 and achieved island status in 2003 when it remained consistently above high tide levels.
The formation belongs to the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, contributing to the preservation of North Sea coastal ecosystems.
Located 5 kilometers southwest of Juist Island, this uninhabited area requires special permission and weather conditions for visitation.
The sand formation continues to move toward Memmert Island, with expectations of an eventual merger between these two land masses.
