Smeerenburg • Seventeenth century Dutch whaling settlement on Amsterdam Island, Spitsbergen. The name is composed of the Dutch words smeer (fat, oil, blubber) and burg (town), and refers to the rendering of whale oil by boiling blubber. The site was successively occupied by Dutch and Danish whalers.
