Menier Island

Menier Island (64°59′S 63°37′W / 64.983°S 63.617°W / -64.983; -63.617) is an island, largest in a small island group lying in the mouth of Flandres Bay, 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Cape Renard, off the west coast of Graham Land. The island group was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1903–05, who gave them the name "Iles Menier." The name Menier is here applied to the largest of these islands.
