There is already an article called Thule Island. Now there is one called Southern Thule is this the same place, just known by another name? Which is the correct name? I know nothing on this. Are they two different places? Did the Argentinians set up two seperate bases?

No, there were not two separate bases. The two separate articles are about the same island. I propose we merge them here, to Southern Thule, since that is the more complete name, and let Thule Island be a redirect. Jonathunder 14:57, 2005 Apr 24 (UTC)

This page Corbeta Uruguay says that Southern Thule is in the South Shetland islands, but there is no mention of it in the South Shetland Islands page. In the article Southern Thule it states that the islands are in the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Something seems to be wrong somewhere, but I don't know enough about the subject to correct the mix up. --Monk Bretton 00:32, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Another island called "Morrell Island"

Read the last paragraph at [1] if you understand German. Is there another island with the same name, or was it one of Morrell's hoaxes? 03:01, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarity to material from Simon Winchester's Outposts

I wonder if anyone has noticed that this article bears a striking resemblance to the first three pages of Chapter 1 of Simon Winchester's book Outposts - Journeys to the Surviving Relics of the British Empire? Is there a copyright issue here?
