Heligoland Felswatt, Mudflat in Heligoland, Germany
The Heligoland Felswatt consists of a wide expanse of sediment that becomes exposed during low tide periods along the North Sea coast.
The mudflat area has formed part of the Helgoländer Felssockel nature reserve since the island's return to German control in 1952.
Marine biologists regularly visit the Felswatt to study the diverse ecosystem of mollusks, crustaceans, and marine worms that inhabit these tidal flats.
Visitors can access the mudflat during low tide periods, but must check local tide tables and follow safety guidelines from the nature reserve administration.
The Felswatt harbors specific species of algae that have adapted to survive in both saltwater submersion and air exposure during tidal changes.
