Sjuøyane
Sjuøyane (English: Seven Islands) is the northernmost part of the Svalbard archipelago north of Norway, and some 20 km north of Nordaustlandet. As the name implies, this is a group of seven islands (as well as several islets and skerries), of which the three larger ones are:
- Phippsøya
- Martensøya
- Parryøya
And the four smaller:
- Nelsonøya
- Waldenøya
- Tavleøya
- Vesle Tavleøya with Rossøya
Rossøya, more a skerry than an island, is at 80°49’44" the northernmost land of Svalbard and thus of Norway. Ice conditions are often difficult, but they are often earlier accessible than other parts of Svalbard further southeast because of the influence of the last drops of the Gulf Stream. Sjuøyane belong to the Nordaust-Svalbard Nature Reserve.
