Flintholmen is a small island in Ekmanfjorden in James I Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard, at the northern side of Isfjorden. Associated with the islet is a wide shoal area with depths between zero and three meters, with an extension of about one nautical mile.[1][2] Part of Flintholmen and the nearby island of Coraholmen are dominated by moraine ridges deposited by the glacier Sefströmbreen during a surge in 1896. Ekmanfjorden and its islands are included in the Nordre Isfjorden National Park.[3]
