Rongé Island
Rongé Island is a high, rugged island long, the largest island of the group which forms the west side of Errera Channel, off the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctica.
Rongé Island was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–1899 under Adrien de Gerlache who named it for Madame de Rongé, a contributor to the expedition.Geography
Ketley Point forms the western end of Rongé Island. Sherlac Point marks the southeast end of the island. Both were charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960. Ketley was named for John Ketley, a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey assistant surveyor at the Danco Island station in 1956 and at Arthur Harbour in 1957. Sherlac was initially named "Cap Charles" by Gerlache, but to avoid confusion with Charles Point in Hughes Bay, it was renamed "Sherlac", an anagram of Charles.
