Brøggerhalvøya is a peninsula in Oscar II Land on the west coast of the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. It is 20 kilometers (12 mi) long and 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) wide and borders Kongsfjorden to the north and Forlandsundet to the west. Ny-Ålesund, the world's northernmost permanent settlement, is located on the peninsula, which is named for Waldemar Christopher Brøgger. The Norwegian Polar Institute placed reindeer on the peninsula in 1978. Their grazing had a negative impact on the frail but biologically rich area, reducing the biodiversity.

  • Brøggerhalvøya is a peninsula in Oscar II Land on the west coast of the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. It is 20 kilometers (12 mi) long and 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) wide and borders Kongsfjorden to the north and Forlandsundet to the west. Ny-Ålesund, the world's northernmost permanent settlement, is located on the peninsula, which is named for Waldemar Christopher Brøgger. The Norwegian Polar Institute placed reindeer on the peninsula in 1978. Their grazing had a negative impact on the frail but biologically rich area, reducing the biodiversity. The peninsula has a similar geology to Ny-Ålesund, Carboniferous and Permian, but is unaffected by coal wastes, which made the peninsula act as a control area. Melting ice since the last glacial period has resulted in the preservation of a superb raised beach sequence. Today, glaciers across the Peninsula have continued to experience a long-term decline in volume of ice and length since monitoring experiments began in the 1960s, a result of warming in the 20th century.

  • Brøggerhalvøya è una penisola nella sulla costa occidentale dell'isola di Spitsbergen nelle Svalbard, Norvegia. È lunga 20 km e larga 10 km e costeggia la Baia del Re a nord e a ovest. Prende il suo nome dal geologo . e ospita al suo interno Ny-Ålesund, l'insediamento umano più a nord del mondo. Il Norsk Polarinstitutt introdusse le renne nella penisola nel 1978; il loro pascolo ha avuto un impatto negativo sulla zona (fragile ma biologicamente ricca), riducendone la biodiversità. La penisola ha una geologia simile a quella di Ny-Ålesund (del Carbonifero e del Permiano), ma non è influenzata da scarti di carbone, cosa che permette alla penisola di essere utilizzata come zona di controllo.
