Runaway Island
Runaway
Island
is a rocky
island
0.7
nautical miles
west
of
the west
tip of
Neny Island
and 0.2 nautical miles
northwest
of
surf rock
,
lying in
Marguerite Bay
off the
west coast
of
Graham Land
.
The island
was
roughly
charted in
1936
by the
British Graham Land Expedition
, and was surveyed in
1947
by the
Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey
. So named by FIDS because a runaway
dog team
left this island and returned to
base
.
