Austral Island

Austral Island

Austral Island (coord|66|30|S|110|39|E) is a small Antarctic island in the extreme southern lobe of Penney Bay, in the Windmill Islands. The island appears in air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), but was not charted on subsequent maps. So named by US-ACAN because it is the southernmost of the Windmill Islands.
