Edgeøya
third-largest island of the Svalbard archipelago / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edgeøya is the third-largest island of Svalbard. It is east of Spitsbergen. Today, the island is uninhabited, but there are traces of human settlements: The Pomors left some huts, and probably came there in the 16th century. There are also abandoned whaling stations.
