Vaigattøyane

Islands and Archipelagos

Vaigattøyane is a group of small islands in the Hinlopen Strait, between the islands of Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago. The group includes Wahlbergøya, its largest island, along with Von Otterøya, Nyströmøya, and Berggrenøya. Its name comes from Waygat, an older name once used for the Hinlopen Strait itself. The source consulted gives no further detail on the group's size or geological composition.
