Straumporten
Sjuøyane
Straumporten (English: Stream Gate) is a 1340 m wide sound between the southernmost part, Migmatittodden of Phippsøya and northeast side, Gullberget of Parryøya, in Sjuøyane north of Nordaustlandet in Svalbard, Norway.
The sound was named because drift ice often passes through the sound with the tidal streams.[1]
