| Tlo historyczne | This uninhabited volcanic island is almost entirely covered by glaciers and is difficult to approach. It was discovered w 1739 by a French naval officer after whom the island was named. No claim was made until 1825, when the British flag was raised. In 1928, the UK waived its claim w favor of Norwegia, which had occupied the island the previous year. In 1971, Norwegia designated Wyspa Bouveta and the adjacent territorial waters a nature reserve. Since 1977, it has run an automated meteorological station on the island. |
