Hailuoto, Island municipality in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland.
Hailuoto spans 205 square kilometers in the Bothnian Bay, making it Finland's third-largest sea island with traditional red fishing settlements and rural architecture.
The island emerged from the Baltic Sea 1700 years ago, with permanent settlements established in the 12th century by settlers from Karelia and other regions.
The municipality maintains its traditional architecture and fishing heritage, earning recognition as one of Finland's 27 designated national landscapes.
A ferry service connects the island to mainland Oulunsalo throughout the day, with a 25-minute journey covering 6.8 kilometers across the water.
The land continues to rise approximately one centimeter annually due to post-glacial rebound, gradually increasing the island's total surface area.
