Bouvet Island (Norwegian: Bouvetøya) is an uninhabited sub-antarctic volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, south-southwest of the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa).
Bouvet Island is a candidate for the most remote island in the world, along with other small insular islands such as Tristan da Cunha, Easter Island and the Pitcairn Islands.
The first extended stay on the island was in 1927, when a Norwegian crew stayed for about a month; this is the basis for the territorial claim by Norway, who have named the island Bouvetøya (Bouvet Island in Norwegian).
