Korpoo, Houtskär, Iniö, Nagu - Finnish Archipelago, Finland

Archipelago Sea is a part of the Baltic Sea between the Gulf of Bothnia, the Gulf of Finland and the Sea of Åland, within Finnish territorial waters. By some definitions it is the largest archipelago in the world by the number of islands, although the islands are very small and tightly clustered.

The larger islands are inhabited and connected by ferries and bridges. The Åland Islands, including the largest islands of the region, form an autonomous region within Finland. The rest of the islands are part of Finland Proper. The Archipelago Sea is a significant tourist destination.

Korpo is a former municipality of Finland. On 1 January 2009, it was consolidated with Houtskär, Iniö, Nagu and Pargas to form the new town of Väståboland.

群島海是波羅的海的一部份。位於波的尼亞灣和芬蘭灣之間的芬蘭領海。群島海中的島很小，而且聚集在一個細小的區域；但是以島的數量計，群島海是世界最大的多島海。群島海的地貌主要由冰川作用構造而成。

海域中較大的一些島嶼有居民居住，並有輪渡和橋樑連接。最大島嶼奧蘭島和周邊無數的小島組成了芬蘭的一個自治省。所有的島嶼都屬於西南芬蘭管轄。群島海也是著名的旅遊勝地之一。
