White Island (Ross Archipelago)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Island () is an island in the Ross Archipelago, 15 miles long, protruding through the Ross Ice Shelf immediately east of Black Island. It was discovered by the Discovery Expedition (1901-04) and so named by them because of the mantle of snow which covers it.
