Everything about Penguin Island South Shetland Islands totally explained
Penguin Island (also known as
Georges Island,
Île Pingouin,
Isla Pingüino, and
Penguin Isle) is an
island, 1.4 wide by 1.7 km long, which lies close off the south coast of
King George Island and marks the eastern side of the entrance to
King George Bay in the
South Shetland Islands. Penguin Island was sighted in January
1820 by a
British expedition under
Edward Bransfield, and so named by him because
penguins occupied the shores of the island.
Penguin Island is capped by Deacon Peak, a basaltic scoria cone. Deacon Peak was last thought to be active about 300 years ago. Petrel Crater, a
maar crater, is located on the east side of the island, and is though to have last erupted in or around 1905.
