'''Bouvet Island''' is an uninhabited subantarctic high island and dependency of Norway located in the South Atlantic Ocean at 54°25.8′S 3°22.8′E, putting it north of and outside the [[Antarctic Treaty System]]. It lies at the southern end of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and is the most remote island in the world, approximately 2000 km south-southwest of the coast of South Africa and approximately 1700 km north of the Princess Astrid Coast of [[Queen Maud Land]].

	The island has an area of 49 km<sup>2</sup>, of which 93% is covered by a glacier. The center of the island is an ice-filled crater of an inactive volcano. Some skerries and one smaller island, [[Larsøya]], lie along its coast. Nyrøysa, created by a [[rock slide]] in the late 1950s, is the only easy place to land and is the location of a weather station.
