Explorers discover unknown Antarctic island labeled as ‘danger zone’ on maps
Researchers have discovered an unknown island in the northwestern Weddell Sea, previously marked as a 'danger zone' on nautical charts. This finding was made during an expedition by the Alfred Wegener Institute, which was originally studying sea ice decline. The island, which measures approximately 426 feet long and 164 feet wide, will undergo a formal naming process.
- ▪The island was discovered during an expedition aboard the AWI's icebreaker Polarstern.
- ▪It is located in the northwestern Weddell Sea and was previously misidentified on maps.
- ▪The area was marked as a danger zone due to uncharted shoals and low-resolution satellite data.
