Quintana Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quintana Island () is a small isolated island, lying 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Betbeder Islands in the southwest part of the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was first charted as a group of islands by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, and named by Charcot for Manuel Quintana, then President of Argentina. A survey in 1957-58 by the British Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit found only one island in this position.
