Jomfruene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jomfruene () is a group of three small tussock-covered islands and a number of barren rocks, lying 1 mile (1.6 km) west-northwest of Cape Paryadin, South Georgia. The position and number of these islands have been approximated on charts for years. In 1951-52, the SGS reported that the single large island, shown on charts as "Three Point Island," was known locally as Jomfruene (the maidens). Following more detailed survey by the SGS, 1955-56, it is now known that there are three small islands, not one large one, and the local name has been extended to the group.
