Jonsbu was a Norwegian hunting and radio station (Jonsbu Radio/LMW)[1] located on the coast of Eastern Greenland in present-day King Christian X Land.[2]

Administratively the area where the hut stood belongs now to the Northeast Greenland National Park.

The site is located in southern Hochstetter Foreland on the western side of Peters Bay, northeast of the mouth of Ardencaple Fjord, about 15 km (9.3 mi) from Cape Klinkerfues.[3]
