Sullom Voe is shown as a named rock on the public map of Shetland Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Sullom Voe is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Shetland Islands, composed primarily of Jurassic-age sandstone and mudstone. These sedimentary rocks formed around 150 to 200 million years ago through the deposition of marine and terrestrial sediments, and the site is notable for its exposure of geological formations linked to the opening of the North Atlantic.
