Tavleøya

Tavleøya is a small island in the Arctic Ocean north of Spitsbergen, situated in a region marked by frequent ice formations and harsh conditions. The isle sits in an area defined by extreme Arctic conditions that makes it difficult to reach.

The island was officially documented and mapped in 1994 as a geographic location in the Arctic. This early mapping helped establish the exact position of this remote site in Norway's northernmost region.

The name Tavleøya reflects Norwegian naming conventions for Arctic territories, following patterns used throughout the Svalbard archipelago.

Visits require specialized Arctic equipment and careful preparation for extreme weather conditions. The area is practically unreachable for regular tourists and demands extensive planning plus specialized navigation.

During winter months, the area experiences complete darkness, while summer brings unbroken sunlight. These dramatic seasonal swings shape life in this remote Arctic region in unusual ways.
