Beerenberg is a stratovolcano dominating the northeastern end of the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen.

[3] The volcano is topped by a mostly ice-filled crater about one kilometre (5⁄8 mile) wide,[4] with numerous peaks along its rim including the highest summit, Haakon VII Toppen, on its western side.

[5] The upper slopes of the volcano are largely ice-covered, with several major glaciers including five which reach the sea.

Beerenberg is composed primarily of basaltic lava flows with minor amounts of tephra.

The first recorded ascent was in the summer of 1921, by an expedition led by Dr. Paul Louis Mercanton, joined by James Wordie, T.C.
