Kvadehuken is a cape at the northwestern corner of Brøggerhalvøya, located at the southwestern side of outlet of Kongsfjorden, in Oscar II Land on Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The name is a Norwegian spelling of Dutch: Quade hoek (bad corner).[1][2]
The Norwegian geophysical station at Kvadehuken, a research facility, was established in 1920 by the Geophysical Institute of Tromsø. Brothers Hallvard and Finn Devold worked at the facility.[3] In October 1924, the station was wrapped up for financial reasons.[4]
