Bothnian Bay

The Bothnian Bay or Bay of Bothnia is the northernmost part of the Gulf of Bothnia, which is in turn the northern part of the Baltic Sea. The land holding the bay is still rising after the weight of ice-age has been removed, and within 2,000 years the bay will be a large freshwater lake since its link to the is mostly less than 20 metres deep.
