Härjakare

Härjakare is a geographical term referring to a small, rocky islet or reef, typically found in the coastal waters of Estonia, particularly in the Baltic Sea. Härjakare are often uninhabited and sparsely vegetated, and they serve as important habitats for seabirds and marine life. The term is derived from the Estonian language, reflecting the unique coastal geography of the region. Härjakare are generally smaller than larger islands and may be submerged during periods of high tide or storm surges. They can pose navigational hazards to ships and boats, requiring careful charting and seamanship.
