Åland (English spelling)

…the archipelago is located in southwestern Finland, roughly halfway between Turku and Stockholm, Sweden. It is called Åland in Swedish. It consists of more than 6,500 islands, of which only about 150 are inhabited.

From the Gulf of Bothnia

…It is a gulf in the northern part of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland, 600 km north to south and 160 to 260 km east to west. The Åland Islands lie to the south, and the Kvalken Shoal in the center is the border between Bottenhavet (maximum depth about 150 m) to the south and Bottenviken (maximum depth 124 m) to the north. The northern end is at 65°45′ north latitude, and because many rivers flow into it, the salinity is low, and the northern part freezes over widely in winter. …
