Olonkinbyen in Jan Mayen jan-mayen. olonkinbyen Informations and links Olonkinbyen![]() ![]() Map Olonkinbyen Photos Olonkinbyen Population on 01-Jan-04 : 18 ------------------------------- Olonkinbyen is a settlement on the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen. It houses the staff that operates the weather station and the radio station. It has a population of about 20 people. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) This desolate, mountainous island was named after a Dutch whaling captain who indisputably discovered it in 1614 (earlier claims are inconclusive). Visited only occasionally by seal hunters and trappers over the following centuries, the island came under Norwegian sovereignty in 1929. The long dormant Haakon VII Toppen/Beerenberg volcano resumed activity in 1970; it is the northernmost active volcano on earth..
