Islands / Moss / Lille Revlingen
The smaller of the two Revlingen skerries in the Oslofjord off Moss, built of Permian lava, the same volcanic formation as Jeløya, Kollen and Eldøya.
Lille Revlingen is the smaller of the two Revlingen skerries in the fjord south of Moss, right alongside Store Revlingen. It is a low lava skerry with no buildings on it. It belongs with Store Revlingen. The two share a volcanic origin, and both are the same Permian rock as Jeløya.

own boat or kayak.
No scheduled boat comes here. You will have to find the nearest public quay yourself, and the rest is your own boat or a kayak. Check the wind and wave forecast before you set out; the open stretches in the outer fjord turn unpleasant in a fresh breeze.
Lille Revlingen consists of lava from the Permian and is part of the Oslo Graben (*Oslofeltet*), the same volcanic rock formation that builds up Jeløya, Kollen and Eldøya. The skerries are what remains of hard lava rock from a period of volcanic activity around 250 to 300 million years ago, left standing after the glaciers ground down the surrounding landscape. Missingene and Søsterøyene further out belong to the same formation.
Lille Revlingen is an uninhabited skerry, a destination for people with their own boat or kayak.
Lille Revlingen is reached by private boat or kayak; there is no scheduled service. Check Naturbase, the national database of protected areas, for protection status and any closure during the seabird nesting season before going ashore. Several skerries in this area are seabird reserves with legally binding seasonal closures.
The two Revlingen skerries are a twin pair in stone, Store and Lille side by side, both cut from the same volcanic lava as Jeløya. Seeing them together is seeing two pieces of the old Oslo Graben that the ice could not take.
Oslo Sea Experience passes Lille Revlingen on its private fjord trips from Tjuvholmen.
