Jan Mayen is an island located in the 
Arctic Ocean, owned by 
Norway. No people live there except for some 
scientists, who doesn't permanently live there either. Jan Mayen has two parts: larger northeast 
Nord-Jan and smaller Sør-Jan, linked by a 2.5 km (1.6 mi) wide isthmus. Little auks live on the island.
The last polar bear on the island was spotted in 1990.
History
The Vikings have visited Jan Mayen, but it was properly discovered by the 
Dutch in 1614.
In 1921, Norway opened the first meteorological station on the island. In 8th May 1929, Norway annexed this empty land with permission from 
League of Nations, and was placed under Norwegian sovereignty, and by law, on 27 February 1930 the island was declared a de jure part of the Kingdom of Norway.
In WWII, mainland Norway got occupied by the 
German Reich. The four-man team on Jan Mayen stayed at their posts and in an act of defiance began sending their weather reports to the allied 
United Kingdom instead of Norway. The British codenamed Jan Mayen "Island X" and attempted to reinforce Jan Mayen with troops to counteract any German attack.
The Germans attempted to land a weather team on the island on 16 November 1940, but the German naval trawler carrying the team crashed on the rocks just off Jan Mayen after a patrolling British destroyer had picked them up on radar.
The 
Allies returned to the island on 10 March 1941, when the Norwegian ship Veslekari, escorted by the patrol boat Honningsvaag, dropped 12 Norwegian weathermen on the island. The team's radio transmissions soon betrayed its presence to the Axis, and German planes from Norway began to bomb and strafe Jan Mayen whenever weather permitted, but did little damage. Soon supplies and reinforcements arrived, and even some anti-aircraft guns, giving the island a garrison of a few dozen weathermen and soldiers. By 1941, Germany had given up hope of evicting the Allies from the island and the constant air raids stopped.
For some time scientists doubted that 
Beerenberg would become active, and in 1970 the volcano erupted for about three weeks, adding another 3 km² (1.2 sq mi) of land mass to the island. Beerenberg erupted again in 1973 and 1985. During an eruption, the sea temperature around the island may increase from just above freezing to about 30 °C (86 °F).
