Bouvet Island
Description
Bouvet Island is an uninhabited subantarctic volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, one of the most remote islands in the world, lying far from any other landmass. It is a dependency of Norway, administered by the Norwegian Polar Institute, and has been designated a nature reserve to protect its glaciers and wildlife, including seals and seabirds. No permanent population or settlement exists on the island, which is visited only occasionally by scientific expeditions. The ISO 3166-1 codes for Bouvet Island (alpha-2 BV, alpha-3 BVT, numeric 074) are used to designate the territory in international data systems.
