Wide white sand beach

Wide white sand beach
In the background can be seen the smaller side island "Düne".
The originally larger island of Helgoland broke in 1721; since then, there is this small sandy side island where the earless seals lounge around on sandy beaches. Populations of two seal species are found and can be observed.

The island is far enough from the mainland, right? Probably you got to this place on a cruise ship or a yacht?

Yes Serge, the mainland is distant about 70 km and you have to take the ship which needs about 2.5 hours to come over. It's the only high sea island in Germany.

Danke Christa für die interessanten Informationen,vielleicht noch ein kleine Ergänzung über menschliches Zutun: Das interessante an der Geschichte ist, dass die Menschen hier Raubbau betrieben haben und den Sandstein, so wie er auf der Hauptinsel vorkam, in einem großen Steinbruch, um im Norden Deutschlands Häuser damit zu bauen. Man baute so tief ab, dass das Meer dann diese Stelle bei einer Sturmflut dauerhaft überflutete.

Danke Kasten für die Information. Davon habe ich nichts gelesen in meiner Helgoland-Beschreibung, das ist wirklich interessant. Also haben bereits damals Menschen "mit der Natur gespielt', und man sieht, was dabei herauskam....

Merci Malik. L'eau est très claire ici et la vue sur la mer d'un côté et sur les falaises de l'autre est phénoménale.

Merci M-C. Le PiP montre quelques phoques que l'on trouve par centaines sur la petite île de Düne, c'est vraiment impressionnant.
