Hinnøya (Norwegian) or Iinnasuolu (Northern Sami)[1] is the fourth-largest island in Norway, and the largest outside the Svalbard archipelago.

The 2,204.7-square-kilometre (851.2 sq mi) lies just off the western coast of Northern Norway.

The large island is almost divided in two parts by the Gullesfjorden and Øksfjorden, and the old name is probably derived from an old verb with the meaning "cleave", "split", or "cut".

[3] Hinnøya is connected to the mainland by the Tjeldsund Bridge across the Tjeldsundet strait.

[4] In the northwestern part of the island, near the village of Forfjord, there is a nature reserve containing a valley with forests and bogs, including the oldest pine trees in Norway, more than 700 years old.
