National Anthem
Bouvet Island, being an uninhabited territory, does not have its own national anthem. It falls under the sovereignty of Norway, whose national anthem is “Ja, vi elsker dette landet” (Yes, we love this country).
Flags of Neighboring Countries
Bouvet Island does not have neighboring countries, as it is a remote island located in the South Atlantic Ocean, over 1,600 kilometers (990 miles) from the coast of Antarctica.
History of the Flag
Bouvet Island, as a territory of Norway, does not have its own unique flag. It uses the flag of Norway, a red field with a blue cross outlined in white that extends to the edges of the flag. The Norwegian flag symbolizes Norway’s independence and national identity.
Since Bouvet Island is an uninhabited and remote territory, there is no recorded history of a unique flag being used or established for the island. The Norwegian flag is used for official purposes related to the island’s administration under Norwegian sovereignty.
Bouvet Island’s status as a Norwegian dependency means that its representation, including flag usage, falls under the jurisdiction of Norway. The island’s primary significance lies in its use for scientific research and its status as one of the most remote islands in the world, rather than in a unique cultural or national identity that could be represented by a distinct flag.
