 BARENTS ISLAND
 SVALBARD



Edgeoya
and Barentsoya, very little visited, have a geological resemblance to the central part of Spitzbergen : Rocks of the secondary era, plates eroded by the glaciers, polar caps on the tops.

South East Svalbard Nature Reserve covers the two large islands Edgeoya and Barentsoya, and several smaller nearby islands and islets.

These two islands are zones of reproduction of the polar bears. These islands also have an important population of reindeers.
