Storstappan rises to a height of {{convert|283|m}} above sea level and has a peninsula called ''Stauren'' that rises to {{convert|165|m}}. Kjerkestappen rises to an elevation of {{convert|166|m}} above sea level and Bukkstappen rises to {{convert|92|m}} above sea level.

The islands contain a large colony of [[seabird]]s and have been designated a nature reserve since 1983. The land area of the reserve is {{convert|1.7|km2}}, but the reserve also includes {{convert|5.5|km2}} of the sea surrounding the islands. |

The colony is regarded as important because of the large numbers of birds. A 1988 survey found 70 pairs of [[Phalacrocorax carbo]]; around 50 pairs of [[Phalacrocorax aristotelis]]; 5000 to 10,000 pairs of [[Rissa tridactyla]]; about 600 pairs of [[Uria aalge]]; 25 pairs of [[Uria lomvia]]; about 2500 pairs of [[Alca torda]]; and about 50,000 pairs of [[Fratercula arctica]]. The 1988 survey also found [[Sula bassana]] nests.<ref name="Grimmett" /> |
