Useful Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Useful Island (64°43′S 62°52′W) is an island 3.2 km (2 miles) west of Rongé Island, with a string of rocks between, lying in Gerlache Strait off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Adrien de Gerlache. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery.
