Helgoland (DEHGL)

The port handles foreign trade, is a holiday resort and has a local fishing industry. Helgoland consists of a mass of red sandstone rising almost vertically to a height of 60m. On the S side the cliffs terminate in a moderate incline with a crater like depression; the principal harbours extend SSE from this area. Unterland, a low foreland, extends from the cliffs on the SE side of the island.
