The Miseryfjellet is the highest mountain in the Bear Island ( Bjørnøya ). It is located in the east of the island. Its three peaks, collectively also called the Tre Kronor , are named after the Norns of Norse mythology Urd , Verdande and Skuld . In the Urd it reaches its maximum height of 536 meters. Some sources even give 563 m. The mountain consists of Triassic rock and thus belongs to the youngest geological unit on the island.
