Bouvet Island is an uninhabited subantarctic volcanic island located in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is considered the most remote island on earth. More than 90% of it is covered by glaciers, surrounded by cliffs on almost all sides and has no natural harbor. The highest point on the island is at Olav Peak at 780m above sea level. The climate is cool temperate and roughly comparable to that of southern Iceland. All bird species found on the island are seabirds; up to 100,000 Southern Fulmars can breed on the cliffs.
Bouvet Island is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Legally Bouvet Island belongs to Norway.
