Ehrenberg Island[1] [2] (Norwegian: Ehrenbergøya)[3] is a minor island in the Bastian Islands in the Svalbard archipelago. It lies north of Lange Island.
The island has the shape of an inverted teardrop and its highest elevation is 30m (100feet) above sea level. The closest neighboring islands are Lange Island about 500m (1,600feet) to the south and Wilhelm Island about 7km (04miles) to the east. The wildlife consists largely of polar bears.
Most of the Bastian Islands were named during the First German North Polar Expedition in 1868. Ehrenberg Island is named after the German zoologist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg.[3]
