Olonkinbyen
Olonkinbyen or Olonkin City (Norwegian: Olonkinbyen, Dutch: Olonkinstad) is a settlement on the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen.
Olonkinbyen houses the staff that operates the weather station and the radio station. Currently there are 18 members stationed in Olonkinbyen who make up the entirety of the island's population, therefore making it the de facto capital of Jan Mayen, though in reality there is no capital. The settlement generates its own electrical power via three generators.[1]
