East Frisian Islands

The East Frisian Islands form a chain off the North Sea coast between the mouths of the Ems and the Jade. Borkum lies at the western end, followed by Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog and Wangerooge. Behind the islands, extensive tidal flats separate them from the mainland; seaward, the islands face the exposed North Sea.
