Tjuvholmen

Tjuvholmen is a neighborhood in the borough Majorstuen in Oslo, Norway. It is located on a peninsula sticking out from Aker Brygge into the Oslofjord. It is located east of Filipstad and south of Vika. At the tip of the peninsula, next to the sculpture park, is an outdoor bathing area. The water leads out to the Inner Oslofjord.

Geology
The geology of the former islet is of great interest. The German geologist Leopold von Buch visited the area in 1806–07, and he then discovered and described rhomb porphyry for the first time. ==The name==
The name
The first element is tjuv (thief), the last element is the finite form of holme (islet). The islet was later turned into a peninsula because of post-glacial rebound. Thieves were executed here in the 18th century. An older (Danish) spelling of the name was "Tyveholmen". ==References==
