Adams Island, New Zealand
- Adams Island, New Zealand
"There are other Adams Islands, including one more sub-antarctic island. See Adams Island for other meanings."
Adams Island is the part of Auckland Islands archipelago. The southern end of the island broadens to a width of 26 kilometres. Here, a narrow channel known as Carnley Harbour (on some maps the Adams Straits) separates the main island from the roughly triangular Adams Island (area approximately 100 km²), which is even more mountainous, reaching a height of 705 m at Mount Dick [ [http://www.70south.com/information/antarctic-islands/auckland 70south site] ] . The channel is the remains of the crater of an extinct volcano, and Adams Island and the southern part of the main island form the crater rim.
