Olav V Land in North East of Spitzbergen
is a sector almost completely covered with ice.The
landscape is characterised by large ice caps with glacier fronts up
to tens of kilometers long.
The North (Ny Friesland) is the most frozen area of Spitzbergen (Åsgärd's
cap), also the least attended and the least charted.
In the East, Atomfjella is the most mountainous area of the archipelago
and has the two highest top Newtontoppen and Perriertoppen (1717 m).
Newtontoppen is climbed by a Russian surveyor in 1900 while Perriertoppen,
less visible and less accessible, is climbed for the first time in
1950 by a French expedition.
Situated in the south of Hinlopen Strait (Hinlopentretet), Wilhelmøya
is a island close to Olav V Land in Spitsbergen. The beaches of this
island are littered with sub-fossilised whale skeletons.
