Bohemanflya Explained

Bohemanflya ("Boheman peninsula") is a peninsula on the northwestern side of Isfjorden, in Oscar II Land on Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is named after Swedish entomologist Carl Henrik Boheman. The peninsula has a length of about 14km (09miles) and a width of 8km (05miles), bounded by Yoldiabukta and Borebukta. The Boheman Bird Sanctuary is located south of the peninsula.[1] [2] The southeastern spit on the peninsula is named Bohemanneset.

A claim of the coal reserves of Bohemanflya was delivered in 1899. The claim covers about 68.4km2.[3]
