Jan Mayen tourist information
This desolate, mountainous volcanic island was named after a Dutch whaling captain who supposedly dicovered it in 1614 (though earlier claims have been reported). It was visited only occasionally by seal hunters and trappers over the following centuries, and the island came under Norwegian sovereignty in 1929. The long dormant Haakon VII Toppen/Beerenberg volcano (2,277 meters) resumed activity in 1970; it is the northernmost active volcano on Earth.
