Åland Islands, Baltic Sea
This is a video of my trip to Åland Islands I did in August 2011.
The Åland Islands is an autonomous, demilitarised, monolingually Swedish-speaking region of Finland that consists of an archipelago lying at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea. Collectively, the islands in the archipelago form the smallest region of Finland, constituting 0.49% of its land area and 0.50% of its population.
Åland's autonomous status means that those provincial powers normally exercised by representatives of the central Finnish government are largely exercised by its own government.

BIKEPACKING IN ÅLAND - In the middle of Baltic Sea between Finland and Sweden
Åland is a group of Finnish islands halfway across the Baltic Sea between Finland and Sweden. With population of less than 30 000 it sounded quiet enough for my attempt to get away while staying isolated.
It's now been close to 1,5 years since the beginning of the pandemic, and this short weekender was my first chance to spend some quality time completely alone surrounded by nature.
It made me realize how much I really need it.
Borrowed bike, wild camping kit and no plan. Forgot to pack coffee.

The Fight for Åland | The Finnish Islands That Wanted to Be Swedish
The Åland Islands lies between Sweden and Finland, and they caused great tension between these countries a hundred years ago. Let's explore this archipelago and see what all the fuss was about.
Åland is a pretty strange place in Scandinavia. It belongs to Finland, but it’s a self-governing territory with its own laws. And the people of Åland speak Swedish, and they share a lot of Swedish culture. Finland has sovereignty over the islands, but for a long time they wanted to belong to Sweden instead.
Less than 30 000 people live in Åland, on an area of roughly 1 500 square kilometers. And the main city of Åland is Mariehamn, a bustling metropolis of 11 000 people. Despite its small size, Åland has been of immense importance to the maritime traffic on the Baltic, as well as the military.
In this video I discuss the history of Åland as well as the politics leading up to the modern day. I also visit the Åland Museum of Cultural History, and the Maritime Museum which includes the four-masted steel barque Pommern. You will also see views from the western and eastern harbor of Mariehamn, as well as other areas of the city.
I didn't forget to mention the local brewery Stallhagen as well, and I also discuss the famous Champagne Schooner that sank close to the island of Föglö in the Åland archipelago. It was found with 145 intact bottles of champagne, and 5 bottles of beer - which were later auctioned off.
All this and a lot more, as I visit the Åland Islands - a strange little self-governing territory in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
