Schübelerøya

Schübelerøya (Schübeler Island) is an island in Svalbard, Norway.

Geography
The island has a maximum altitude of 10m (30ft). Just to the north of Schübelerøya lie the slightly larger Brochøya and Foynøya. These three islands are located about 20km off the north coast of Nordaustlandet.

History
The first confirmed sighting of the island was made by Benjamin Leigh Smith in 1871. It was named in honour of Frederik Schübeler, a Norwegian botanist. In 1928, the island was visited by two men, Gennaro Sora and Sjef van Dongen, in search of the lost crew of Umberto Nobile's AIRSHIP Italia.
