Vidar’s Jan Mayen Page

in collaboration with

We wish to welcome you to our home pages dedicated to Jan Mayen, a small Arctic island situated at 71°N 8°30’W, - at the blinking star on the map below.

Vidar’s Jan Mayen page was in the beginning only written in English, but after a collaboration with "Ishavsforeningen Jan Mayen" started, parallel pages in Norwegian will be made.
If you end up on a page with Norwegian text and an English flag up in the left corner, please click on the flag and you will be taken to a page with English text.

If you click on the blinking star , you will be taken to a clickable satellite image of the island, there you can go to pictures from Jan Mayen taken by me or by friends. There are also links to related pages.
