description
Site historique : Smeerenburg était une colonie baleinière fondée par les Danois et les Hollandais en 1619. Environ 200 personnes y travaillaient. Sur la zone plate de la pointe sud-est, on trouve plusieurs reliques de cuves à graisse. En 2019, un film d’animation intitulé Klaus, se déroulant dans ce village, a vu le jour.
Mouillage : La côte sud de Smeerenburg est peu profonde ; il est difficile de mouiller à moins de 2 ou 3 encablures de la côte. Le courant du chenal entre les deux îles peut être fort. Le meilleur compromis est de mouiller par 10 à 15 mètres de fond dans l’anse située entre la fin de la montagne et le début de la plage.
À l’extrémité sud-est de cette plage, une colonie de morses aime venir s’y reposer pour de longues siestes.
