Bouvet Island is located at [show location on an interactive map] 54°26′S, 3°24′E. It is 49 km² in area, 93% of which is covered by glaciers which block the south and east coasts.[1]

Bouvet Island is the most remote island in the world. The nearest land is Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, over 1,600 km (1,000 miles) away to the south, which is itself uninhabited.

It has no ports or harbours, only offshore anchorages, and is therefore difficult to approach.
