Puppebu (Tit Hut) is one of nine small cabins in the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen, in Svalbard and Jan Mayen.[1][2] It is bordered by Walrus Bay (Norwegian: Kvalrossbukta).[3] Although Puppebu does not exceed 3 temporary inhabitants, there is a small stone road, called Jan Mayenveien, that runs from Puppebu on the north of the island to Olonkinbyen. Every month, a ship takes supplies to the town, but during the winter season it cannot be accessed from the bay because large blocks of ice form in the water.
