Surgeon Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surgeon Island is the largest of the Lyall Islands, lying 4 miles ESE of Cape Hooker off the N coast of Victoria Land. Mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-63. The toponym conforms to other names in the island group which, along with Cape Hooker, have been named after surgeons who have worked in Antarctica. Named by the US-ACAN.
