Berghamn is an island in the north of the Swedish sector of the Bay of Bothnia, in the Kalix archipelago.
Description
[edit]Berghamn is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) east of the southern tip of Rånön, the largest island in the archipelago.[1] The north side of the island has a 200 metres (660 ft) sandy beach. A cold spring near the beach provides clean water. The island is rugged, and is covered in moors and forest. The central hill contains caves, and can be reached by a footpath that crosses the island. There is a dramatic view from the summit of the neighboring islands of Likskär, Renskär, Getskär, Rånön and Hastaskäret.[2]
