Terminal Island (Antarctica)


Terminal Island is a low snow-covered island off the north tip of Alexander Island, in the Bellingshausen Sea west of Palmer Land, Antarctic Peninsula. It was first mapped by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960 from air photography taken by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947-1948. The name, given by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee, is descriptive of its position relative to Alexander Island.
