Hoepstockbukta

Hoepstockbukta (English: Hoepstock Bay) is a small cove on the western coast of the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen and is named after Mathijs Jansz. Hoepstock,[1] a Rotterdam whaler, who was the first to use the bay in 1616.[1] The cove is shown on Joan Blaeu's 1662 map of the island.[1]
