South Cape Island
A small 7 km by 7 km island that used to be a site that Russia used in the 18th century to hunt walruses and whales, and while there are not many remnants of Russia's hunting presence, there are some old graves that can be found here. Today, the island is a haven for geese and ducks.
A large inland piece of land that is home to two glaciers – Hambergbreen and Hornbreen.
A bay in the park's southwest which was once the site of several major whaling stations, likely during the 17th century. While most of Svalbard's former whaling stations are now no more than a piece of wood lying around, there is a cabin in Gåshamna that, while largely destroyed, is made from whale bones.
