Noorderhaaks

Noorderhaaks (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌnoːrdərˈɦaːks]), also called Razende Bol (Raging Sphere in Dutch), is an uninhabited Dutch island in the North Sea, a few kilometres west of the Marsdiep which separates the island of Texel from the mainland of the Netherlands. The island covers an area of around five km², although the exact area varies due to tide and the dynamic nature of the area. Being relatively untouched by man, the island has become a valuable location due to its presence of several kinds of seabirds, and seals. * Satellite photo, taken circa 1992 * Stranded humpback whale (2012) *
