| Bjørnøya (Bear island)
is an island in the Barents sea 450 km north of Tromsø, roughly
halfway to Svalbard. Geomagnetic observation was introduced at the island
by a Polish expedition during the Second Polar Year 1932/33. Norwegians
continued the recordings until the station was destroyed by actions of
war in 1941. New instruments were installed in 1949. Transition to digital
recording took place in 1986. The magnetometer is operated with the assistance
of the Meteorological Institute of Norway and located at the meteorological
station at Bear island.
