Danger Islands (Antarctica)

Danger Islands (63°25′S 54°40′W / 63.417°S 54.667°W / -63.417; -54.667) is a group of islands lying 13 nautical miles (24 km) east-southeast of Joinville Island. Discovered December 28, 1842 by a British expedition under James Clark Ross, who so named them because, appearing among heavy fragments of ice, they were almost completely concealed until the ship was nearly upon them.
