Brækmoholmane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brækmoholmane (English: Brækmo Islands) is an island group composed of three islands, Store Brækmoholmen, Trønderen and Alkekongen. They form part of Tusenøyane, an archipelago south of Edgeøya. The islands are named after the Norwegian sailor and fisherman Sivert Brækmo (1853-1930), who visited Svalbard regularly between 1876 and 1895.
