Explorers discover unknown Antarctic island long marked as 'danger zone' on maps
Explorers have discovered an unknown island in the Antarctic, previously marked as a 'danger zone' on nautical maps. The island was identified during an expedition aboard the AWI's icebreaker Polarstern while researchers were studying sea ice decline. This marks the first time the island has been mapped and confirmed to rise over 50 feet above the surrounding water.
- ▪The island is located in the northwestern Weddell Sea.
- ▪Researchers initially sought shelter on Joinville Island due to harsh weather conditions.
- ▪The island was confirmed to be a small rocky landmass after being mistaken for an iceberg.
