Amsterdamøya ((英語:Amsterdam Island)) is a small island off the northwest coast of West-Spitsbergen. It is separated from Danskøya by the strait Danskegattet. ==History==
Amsterdamøya was first seen by Willem Barents in 1596. The Dutch first occupied it in 1614 (the year in which it was probably named), building a temporary whaling station on the island's southeastern promontory. In 1619 a semi-permanent station was constructed. It came to be called Smeerenburg (Dutch for "Blubber Town"). The settlement went into decline in the 1640s, and was abandoned sometime before 1660.
