Saaremaa has a wide variety of rare wildlife species - ranging from insects
to seals. The smallest protected wildlife species include Cloude Apolle butterflies
and Roman snails.The coastal areas of Saaremaa are famous seal habitats. The gray seal
which is common here can be found in three large permanent resting areas on the
islets off the coast in the western and southern parts of Saaremaa. The local
population of grey seal is slightly increasing Ringed seals can also be
encountered everywhere in the coastal waters of Saaremaa, but because of their
timidity it has not been possible to make an estimation of their number.The
Kaali meteorite craters are unique. The biggest
crater is surrounded by a bank and it is covered with shady trees which have
formed a natural park. The depth of the crater is 16 metres, the diametre 110
metres.
The people of Saaremaa have always been keen on following the traditions
and keeping the culture of their ancestors. Thanks to the isolation, many of the
old traditions that have been abandoned on the mainland quite some time ago, are
still alive on the islands. Folk music, folk dances and choir singing have been
popular for ages and continue to be today. Saaremaa
is rich in cultural events and there are possibilities to participate in
cultural activities all over the county.
