Mulkkusaaret Explained

Mulkkusaaret (literally translates to Dick Islands or Penis Islands)[1] is a group of three small islands and one rock in lake Oulujärvi in the Paltamo municipality in Finland. The islands are located north of Tevä island, approximately 5km (03miles) south-southwest from Melalahti village and approximately 9km (06miles) north-northwest from Paltaniemi village.

The islands form a chain in northeast-southwest direction, and are mostly covered by boreal forests. Open cliff coasts can be found on all three islands, mainly on the south sides. There is a campfire site and a shelter, laavu, on the southernmost island.[2]
