The register / Oslo / Kalvøyskjær
Kalvøyskjær
Kalvøyskjær is a skerry in Oslo, 5.0 kilometres from Rådhusbrygge 4 as the crow flies. The entry comes from the Norwegian Mapping Authority’s place-name register. It has no article of its own here yet.
Landing
Islets and skerries without a quay are reached by your own boat or by kayak. Many of them lie inside seabird reserves where landing is banned in the breeding season, as a rule from 15 April to 15 July. The boundaries and the dates are in Naturbase at the Norwegian Environment Agency, and they are worth checking before you go ashore.
Nearest island with an article
Malmøykalven lies about 0.5 km from here. Liten øy vest for Malmøya, skilt fra den ved et smalt og grunt sund. Eid av Oslo kommune siden 1915 og tidligere brukt som sykehus for syke barn; bygningene brukes i dag bl.a. av barnevernet. Kjent fra det omstridte dypvannsdeponiet for forurenset masse fra Bjørvika like ved.
