A Jatulintarha ('Giant's Garden') stone labyrinth on Hailuoto — a flat, sandy island in the Gulf of Bothnia that is Finland's largest permanently inhabited island. Hailuoto's landscapes of sand dunes, meadows, and shallow bays support one of Finland's richest bird habitats. The island's position opposite Oulu in the narrowing gulf places it at the northern limit of Baltic maritime culture. Land uplift continues at 9mm per year, meaning the island's shape changes measurably within a human lifetime. At Giza bearing 355.31°, 3,916 km from the Great Pyramid.
