From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heald Island () is an island, 3 miles (4.8 km) long and 555 m high, which projects through the ice of the Koettlitz Glacier just east of Walcott Bay, in Victoria Land. It was discovered and named by the Discovery expedition (1901-04) for Seaman William L. Heald, a member of the expedition who saved the life of Ferrar when the latter was suffering from scurvy in 1902.
