Tranøya (Troms)
Tranøya is an island in Senja Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the Solbergfjorden, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the large island of Senja. The 1.18-square-kilometre (0.46 sq mi) island is almost totally uninhabited. There is one farm area on the eastern side of the island. The farm is also the site of the historic Tranøy Church.
