Hara (Template:Langx) is a small uninhabited island off the northern coast of Estonia in the Gulf of Finland.[1] It has an area of 10 hectares.[2] The highest point of the island is 13 meters above the sea level.

History

Prior to the Second World War, the island had a few families as permanent inhabitants and a small fish factory operated there. After the war, the small port facing the island on the mainland was taken over by the Soviet Navy and used as a naval training area. The island's inhabitants were removed and a Soviet submarine base was constructed with facilities to demagnetise the vessels' steel hulls. The Soviets departed in 1991; the base remains, derelict.
