Joinville Island (63°15′S 55°45′W / 63.250°S 55.750°W / -63.250; -55.750 (Joinville Island)) is the largest island of the Joinville Island group, about 40 nautical miles (74 km; 46 mi) long in an east–west direction and 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) wide, lying off the northeastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by the Antarctic Sound.[1]

Location

Trinity Peninsula on Antarctic Peninsula. Joinville Island group to the north

Joinville Island lies in Graham Land to the east of the tip of Trinity Peninsula, which is itself the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Antarctic Sound separates it from the Trinity Peninsula. D'Urville Island is to the north, Danger Islands to the east and Dundee Island to the west. Northern features include Cape Kinnes, Boral Point, King Point and Fitzroy Point. Southern features include Mount Percy, Mount Quilmes, Tay Head and Moody Point. [2]

Sailing directions

The US Defense Mapping Agency's Sailing Directions for Antarctica (1976) describes Joinville Island as follows:

Joinville Island is the largest of [the Joinville Island Group], being about 41 miles in length east and west, from Antarctic Sound to Moody Point, its eastern extremity. It is about 12 miles north and south at its greatest breadth. The island is completely ice-capped, the summit of which is Mount Percy, about 2,510 feet high, a flat cupola with twin-peaked feature. Bare rock is visible only where the surfaces are nearly perpendicular or to steep for snow to lodge upon it. The north coast is marked by two rugged headland promontories, Capes King and FitzRoy, between which are two bays ...[3]

Discovery and name

Joinville Island was discovered and charted roughly during 1838 by a French expedition commanded by Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, who named it for François d'Orléans, Prince of Joinville (1818–1900), the third son of Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans.[1]

Reddish rock cliffs rising steeply from the sea to about 305 metres (1,001 ft) high and forming the north side of the entrance to Suspires Bay, at the west end of Joinville Island. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1953-54. The name, given in 1956 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), is descriptive of the red color of the rocks, madder being a red vegetable dye.[5]

The Balaena (Alexander Fairweather, master) was one of the Dundee whaling ships that visited the Joinville Island group in 1892-93. The name was applied in 1956 by the UK-APC and derives from association with Cape Kinnes 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) to the SW; Robert Kinnes was the Dundee shipowner and merchant who equipped these ships for their Antarctic voyage.[7]

Surveyed by the FIDS in 1953. The name arose because the bay is a trap for the unwary if its shallow and foul nature is not known.[12]

Discovered by a British expedition under Ross on December 30, 1842, and named for Rear Admiral the Honorable Josceline Percy, RN, 1784-1856. Although this mountain is not surmounted by twin peaks, as described by Ross, there are a number of peaks of similar height in its vicinity, one of which may have given rise to Ross' description.[21]

The name was amended to Mount Alexander by the UK-APC in 1956 following a survey by the FIDS in 1953-54, the mountain summits of the peninsula being considered more suitable to name.[22]
