Description

The Sweden–Finland border on Märket Island is one of the strangest borders in Europe, all because of a lighthouse built on the wrong side. This tiny island in the Åland Sea reveals how history, maritime navigation, diplomacy, and one technical mistake reshaped a national border. From the Finnish War of 1809 to the 1985 border adjustment, Märket shows how one small structure forced two countries to redraw the map without turning it into a major conflict. #Sweden #Finland #europegeography
