Maria Muschbukta (English: Maria Musch Bay) is an open bay between Fulgeberget and Kvalrossen, on the western coast of the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen.[1] It is named after the shipowner Maria Musch. She was a member of the Kleine Noordse Compagnie, which sent a ship to Jan Mayen in 1616[1][2] as part of early Dutch whaling. This ship was the first to use the bay to hunt whales. The name is shown on Joan Blaeu's 1662 map of the island.
