Sjuhollendarbukta
Map of Jan Mayen
Sjuhollendarbukta (English: Seven Hollander Bay) is a bay on the western coast of the island of Jan Mayen.[1] The Austrian Emil von Wohlgemuth (1886), who surveyed Jan Mayen, named the bay 7 Holländer Bucht, mistakenly believing it was the site of the wintering of seven Dutch whalers in 1633–34.[1]
