Eggøya
Eggøya ("Egg Island") is a peninsula of Jan Mayen. It is located on the southern side, in the central part of the island, east of Sørlaguna, and defines the northeastern extension of the bay Rekvedbukta. To the west of the peninsula is the bay Eggøybukta, and to the east is the bay Jamesonbukta. The highest peak at the peninsula has a height of 217 m.a.s.l. Eggøya consists of the northern part of an old volcanic crater, and small hydrothermal vents are still present. The outer part of the peninsula forms the semicircular bay of Kraterbukta, facing south-southeast with steep slopes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kraterbukta (Jan Mayen) )〕〔Orvin 1960: p. 40〕 To the south of the peninsula is a small islet, Eggøykalven.〔
==Name history==
The name "Eggøya" indicates that the peninsula formerly was an island. The oldest reference given by Orvin is Joan Blaeu's ''Atlas Major sive Cosmographia Blaviana'' from 1662, with the (オランダ語:Eyer Eylandt of vogel klippen). In the 1801 publication ''Histoire des peches, des decouvertes et des etablissements des hollandais dans les mers du nord'' by Bernhard de Reste, the peninsula was called ''Terre aux æufs''. In his Jan Mayen description from 1820, William Scoresby used the name ''Egg Island''. Carl Vogt's map ''Karte der Insel Jan Mayen'' from 1863 used the name ''Eierinsel''. In his 1878 report from an expedition to Jan Mayen, Henrik Mohn used the name forms ''Ægoen'', ''Eg-Øen'' and ''Æg-Øen''. In his article "Jan Mayen Island" from 1922, James Wordie used the name ''Egg Bluff Crater''.〔
