  Rottumeroog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rottumeroog (or also known as Rottum) is one of the three islands that make up Rottum, a group of islands that are part of the West Frisian Islands archipelago.
The island is situated off the Dutch coast in the North Sea.
As a result of sea currents, Rottumeroog is gradually moving and will probably, in the future, disappear in the Ems estuary.
