The Site includes three islands and a number of rocky islets in the western Svalbard archipelago. One of the islands is completely bare, while the others are grass-covered and feature small ponds. The shorelines are formed by cliffs and sandy beaches. The surrounding seas are shallow and nutrient-rich. The Site supports breeding colonies of all three goose species nesting in Svalbard: the pink-footed goose, the brent goose with its subspecies and the barnacle goose, along with various other species of breeding waterbirds as well as a population of the harbour seal Phoca vitulina. The traditional collection of eider down is permitted occasionally.
