The Märket map site had moved, but I was lucky to find it again:<br/>

<br/>
Once again people went to Märket, but did not bring home a closeup of the<br/>
border markers. On      there should however been marker 6 and 7, they are<br/>
hard to spot. Anbody see them? There is sort of a small dot where 7 could<br/>
be.<br/>
<br/>
This <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gwardak.com/al_mf09.jpg">http://www.gwardak.com/al_mf09.jpg</a> cannot be anything, maybe 6?<br/>
<br/>
No 6 should be here as well: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mistra.se/oj0/html/2001/02_jpg.htm">http://www.mistra.se/oj0/html/2001/02_jpg.htm</a><br/>

Market Reef<br/>
This is hard to reach rocky island long 340 meter and 80 m. wide. It lies<br/>
lonely on Aland Sea, about 13 miles from Eckerö. It makes western most point<br/>
of Aland island, and therefore all Finland. Along centre of island goes<br/>
border between Sweden and Finland /.../ Lighthouse built 1885, automatized<br/>
in 1976, 16,8 meters high, inside are 80 stairs. /.../ In 1982 national<br/>
border was corrected - it&#39;s shape looks like letter &quot;Z&quot;. All buildings are<br/>
in Finland now. Earlier lamplighter slept on finnish side, and ate breakfast<br/>
in Sweden. When the wind is 15 mps island is flood by sea. /.../ When<br/>
circumstances are propitious, there are organized trips to island by motor<br/>
boat. excursion prise is Euro 450, watching seals included. See also: map,<br/>
island sketch, lighthouse schema.<br/>
