Ingebrigtsenbukta

Ingebrigtsenbukta is a bay at the south shore of Van Keulenfjorden inside Sør-Spitsbergen National Park.

The bay is approximately 3 km wide, running from Kapp Toscana in the west to Ålesundneset in the east.

[1] Around 1930, a whaling station was established by Ingvald Svendsen in the western part of Ingebrigtsenbukta, near Kapp Toscana.

A small store house is located near the cabin and an overturned wooden boat (named Kjeftausa) still exists that was used for shelter and storage.

[2][3] From August 2019 to May 2020 and again from November 2020 to May 2021, Hilde Fålun Strøm and Sunniva Sorby, two citizen scientists resided at cabin collecting research data on climate change.
