Site Description:
  • This site is located on a platform overlooking the water on Helgoland Island, Germany. Helgoland is a very small island in the middle of the German Bight nearly 35 miles far from land. The German Bight is part of the North Sea. The island has rocky cliffs of red-colored sandstone with an altitude of 60 meters. In former times it was a sea-fortress but now it has tourism, a little fishery, a coast guard base, pilots, sea-rescue, and the home of a well-known institute for biological and zoological research.(http://www.helgoland.de)
