Inaccessible Island is a small rocky island, the northernmost of the Dellbridge Islands, lying 1 mile southwest of Cape Evans, Ross Island. Inaccessible Island is located at 77°39′S, 166°21′E. Inaccessible Island is the most imposing of the group as it is nearly always bare of snow and rises to 95 meters. Inaccessible Island was discovered by the Discovery expedition (1901-04) under Robert Falcon Scott and so named because of the difficulty in reaching it.
