Kulstadholmane

Kulstadholmane (English: "Kulstad Islands" or "Kulstad Islets") is the southernmost group of islets in Tusenøyane, an archipelago south of Edgeøya. It comprises Håøya and the skerries or islets surrounding it: Håungen, Håkallen and Håkjerringa. The islets are named after the Norwegian sealing skipper Johan Kulstad, who was shipwrecked in Storfjorden in 1853 before being rescued by the Danish skipper Schau.
