This live webcam stream, as seen from Berny’s Café & Restaurant, shows the Replot Bridge (Swedish: Replotbron; Finnish: Raippaluodon silta), which connects the island of Replot to the mainland in Korsholm, Ostrobothnia region, in western Finland.
This cable-stayed bridge is 1,045 metres (3,428 feet) long, with two supporting towers 82.5 metres (271 feet) tall, and it carries the Finnish regional road 724.
Berny's Cafe & Restaurant, as shown on the map further down this page, is located next to the World Heritage Gateway as you cross the bridge onto the island of Replot. This is a visitor centre where you can learn more about the Kvarken Archipelago, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site comprised of over 5,600 islands, including the major island of Replot.
The archipelago, along with a portion of Sweden's west coast, is well-known for a geological process known as "post-glacial rebound."
As the land has been continuously rising since the last Ice Age in the archipelago area, it is possible to notice new islands emerging in the space of a few years and bays shrinking into lagoons, called "flads" or closed lakes named "gloe-lakes".
