Fold Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fold Island is an offshore island north of Ives Tongue, 6 mi long and 3 mi wide, which, with smaller islands south, separate Stefansson Bay to the west from William Scoresby Bay to the east. This feature was seen by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RSS William Scoresby in February 1936, who mapped it as part of the mainland. It was determined to be an island and named Foldøya by Norwegian cartographers who charted this area from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in January-February 1937.[1]
