Larsøya
Larsøya,[1][2][3][4] sometimes anglicized as Lars Island, is a rocky island, less than 0.2 nautical miles (0.37 km; 0.23 mi) long, which lies just off the southwest extremity of Bouvet Island. First roughly charted in 1898 by a German expedition under Carl Chun. The Norwegian expedition under Captain Harald Horntvedt made a landing on the island from the ship Norvegia in December 1927. They named it after Lars Christensen, sponsor of the First Norvegia Expedition.
