The park includes two glaciers: Seilandsjøkelen and Nordmannsjøkelen (the northernmost glaciers in Scandinavia). The highest point in the park is the 1078 m tall mountain Seilandstuva. The 316 km2 park was established on 8 December 2006. The 9.6 km2 of the water inside the park's area, includes the surrounding sea and many fjords including the Nordefjorden, Sørefjorden, and Flaskefjorden.

Name
The name of the island must be very old, from Proto-Norse *Sai-aujo ("sea-island"), and the Northern Sami language name Sievju is probably an old loan and reflection of this form. In Norse times, the name was transformed first to *Sæ-ey, and then to just *Sei. The last element land means "land" or "island" is a later addition.
