Qvale Island
Qvale Island is one of the Rønnbeck Islands in the Svalbard archipelago. It lies northeast of Cape Weyprecht on Spitsbergen. The island is a low basalt cliff and its highest point is only above sea level. The closest neighboring islands are Carlsen Island about to the east and Skipper Island about to the west. The wildlife consists largely of polar bears.
The island is named after Per Pedersen Qvale, a Norwegian seal hunter born in Kinsarvik.
