In an area of rapid land uplift the geomorphological evolution of the glaciofluvial island of Sandgrunnorna, 25 km SE Luleå, in the Bothnian Bay, is discussed from old maps, air photographs and field studies. The island were marked on a map for the first time in 1790, but the highest parts can be estimated to have reached the sea surface about 100 years earlier. The areal growth has been reconstructed by map and air photograph studies. A model of the geomorphological evolution based on the interaction between bottom morphology, land uplift and waves is presented.
