Archipelago Sea (Finnish Saaristomeri, Swedish Skärgårdshavet) is a part of the Baltic Sea between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland, within Finnish territorial waters. It is the largest archipelago in the world by the number of islands, although the islands tend to be very small and clustered in a small area.
************************************************
The Archipelago Sea has a very large number of islands. The exact number of islands depends on the definition of the term "island", as the sizes of the pieces of dry land vary from small rocks peaking out of the water to large islands with several villages or even a small town. Common estimates vary between 20,000 and 50,000. (In comparison, the estimates on the number of islands in Indonesia range between 13,000 and 18,000) The area is roughly divided into inner and outher archipelagos, with the outer archipelago consisting mainly of smaller, uninhabited islands. The archipelago covers a roughly triangular area with the cities of Maarianhamina, Uusikaupunki and Hanko at the corners.

finland's islands are not actually islands. they're just pieces of tiny land inside tiny lakes.
