Noorderhaaks (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌnoːrdərˈɦaːks]), also called Razende Bol (Raging sandbank in Dutch; in modern Dutch Bol means sphere, but in this context the old Dutch meaning of sandbank is meant[1]), is an uninhabited Dutch island[2] in the North Sea, a few kilometres west of the Marsdiep which separates the island of Texel from the mainland of the Netherlands. The island covers an area of around five km², although the exact area varies due to tide and the dynamic nature of the area.

Being relatively untouched by man, the island has become a valuable location due to its presence of several kinds of seabirds, and seals.
The island is slowly moving eastward towards the Marsdiep and the Molengat, at a pace of around 100 metres a year.[2] Noorderhaaks is probably the sixth sand bar to develop in the mouth of the Marsdiep, since it formed in the late twelfth century via a flood that occurred in 1170. The previous five have also moved towards Texel and got accreted to the island, with intervals of approximately 150 years each.[3]
The island is visited by day trippers, and is also being used as a training ground for the Royal Dutch Navy and Air Force.

[de] Noorderhaaks
Der Noorderhaaks (fries.: Noarderheaks), auch Razende Bol genannt, ist eine Sandbank („Plate“) mit einer Fläche von ca. 5 km², die durch die Gezeitenströme zwischen der Nordsee und der Insel Texel entstanden ist. Das bei Ebbe aus dem Marsdiep, der Meerenge zwischen Texel und Den Helder, strömende Wasser trifft auf die steigende Flut aus der Nordsee, die beiden Strömungen neutralisieren sich, und der Sand im Nordseewasser sinkt ab. Sandplaten dieser Art wandern langsam in Richtung des Flutstroms. Vor etwa einem Jahrhundert lag an der Stelle des heutigen Noorderhaaks eine andere Sandplate, Onrust, die sich Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts an das Südende von Texel anschloss.- [en] Noorderhaaks

Noorderhaaks, también llamado Razende Bol, es un islote arenoso situado al sud-oeste de Texel (a la cual pertenece administrativamente). Su origen es atribuible a las corrientes que se generan en el estrecho de Marsdiep (que separa Den Helder de Texel) por efecto de la marea y el llenado y vaciado del mar de Frisia. Sin equipamiento para fijarlo, se desplaza a una velocidad de 100 metros al año en dirección al estrecho, por lo que se especula sobre si se acabará uniendo a Texel.[fr] Noorderhaaks

Administrativement, Noorderhaaks est rattaché à la commune de Texel.[it] Noorderhaaks
