'Mosquito Bay') was a Norwegian whaling, meteorological and radio station (Myggbukta Radio/LMG)[1] located on the coast of Eastern Greenland in present-day King Christian X Land.
However, on the way back to Norway in 1923, the Norwegian sealer ANNI 1 which had brought the expedition to Greenland in 1922 was crushed in the offshore pack ice and all men on board perished.
"[4]Myggbukta thus served as de facto capital of this short-lived Norwegian territory, although sysselman ("Governor") Helge Ingstad overwintered at the more southerly station Antarctic Havn.
[3] Together with Jónsbú Station in Hochstetter Foreland, as well as Storfjord, Torgilsbu and Finnsbu further south,[5] Myggbukta became part of the Norwegian contribution to the International Polar Year 1932–33.
During World War II, in September 1940, patrol boat Fridtjof Nansen of the Free Norwegian Navy, destroyed the radio equipment, leaving Myggbukta in bad condition.
