This article is a bit confusing. It starts out by saying it is one of the safest harbours in Antarctica (but doesn't say what this means, why the other harbours are unsafe, or cite any references), and then in the very next sentence talks about volcanic activity damaging a science station -- which makes me even more confused about the safeness of this harbour. 81.182.77.179 ( talk) 02:53, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
When and how was the island discovered? Where does the name come from? -- Beland ( talk) 13:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
The picture showwing the location of the island ovverlaps some text, but I don't knoww howw to fix. (noob) Anyone?
Czaranis ( talk) 19:43, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Somewhat unusual that the ENE coast of the island is a straight line. Rift, earthquake fault? Satellite photo in Google Maps doesn't show any underwater feature indicatin either. Shjacks45 ( talk) 00:57, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
