Depot Island

Depot Island (66°56′S 57°19′E / 66.933°S 57.317°E / -66.933; 57.317) is a small island in the Oygarden Group, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) north of the west end of Shaula Island. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. So named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) because a depot was established there by the ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) during 1956.
