Link Island

Link Island (63°16′S 57°56′W / 63.267°S 57.933°W / -63.267; -57.933Coordinates: 63°16′S 57°56′W / 63.267°S 57.933°W / -63.267; -57.933) is a small island at the outer (northern) margin of the Duroch Islands, approximately 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Halpern Point, Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. The island was charted by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition, 1947–48, and called "Islote Sub-Teniente Ross" or "Islote Ross." The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after David A. Link, a field assistant with the University of Wisconsin (United States Antarctic Research Program) geological party during reconnaissance of this area, 1960–61, this name avoiding possible confusion with James Ross Island.^[1]
