The Stockholm Archipelago, in the Baltic Sea, east of the Swedish capital, is made up of some 300 islands and islets that are part of the Värmdö Minicipality. It is a large nature reserve protected since 1983, with an area of 28 hectares. The reserve includes the island of Långviksskär and the surrounding archipelago, with the natural harbors of Hallskär and Söderö.
