Steingrund (Helgoland)

Stone ground is a sandbank about five to six nautical miles northeast of Heligoland ; it is about nine meters deep. It was measured in 1908 and again in 1953 by the Atair survey ship. During dives from 1952 Jürgen Spanuth believed to have found Bronze Age ramparts here, perhaps even the capital of Atlantis , which led to a dispute with geologists and other scientists. The stones are now considered to be from the Ice Age. The Steingrund is an FFH area . It is a fishing ground for lobster fishing.
