White Island (Enderby Land)

White Island is an 13 miles long and 5 miles wide ice-covered island in Enderby Land, Antarctica. 8 miles wide Styles Strait separates them from Sakellari Peninsula. Discovered and called Hvitøya ("White Island") by Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in January 1930. Its existence was considered doubtful for a number of years but was confirmed by the Soviet expedition in the Lena in March 1957, and by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) led by D.F. Styles in the Thala Dan in February 1960.
