Engelskbukta (English: English Bay) is a broad, open bay mid-way up the west coast of the island of Jan Mayen. It lies between Kapp Rudsen and Kvalrossen, comprising Kvalrossbukta and Tømmerbukta. Presumably this is where the English resorted to in 1616, when they sent their first whaling ships to the island. The Dutch also called it Noordbaai (North Bay). The bay was the location of one of the two main Dutch whaling stations in the 17th century.
