Dieglman Island

Dieglman Island (66°0′S 100°46′E / 66°S 100.767°E / -66; 100.767) is an island about 4 nautical miles (7 km) long that is largely ice covered but has numerous rock outcrops, lying on the northwest side of Edisto Channel in the Highjump Archipelago. First mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named Dieglman Islets. Subsequent Soviet expeditions (1956–57) mapped the feature as one island with numerous outcrops. The name has been altered by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) to apply to the single island. Named by US-ACAN for E.D. Dieglman, air crewman on U.S. Navy Operation Highjump photographic flights in this area in 1946-47.
