Paulet Island (Antarctica)

  • The island is composed of lava flows capped by cone with a summit crater. Volcano's morphology suggests it was active within the last 1000 years.
  • The island was discovered during the 1839–1843 British Antarctic expedition led by James Clark Ross (1800-1862). The island was named after Lord George Paulet (1803-1879).
  • During the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901-1904) led by Otto Nordenskiöld (1869-1928), in 1903 his ship crushed and sunk off the island's coast. A stone hut was erected by the survivors.
  • Paulet Island is designated IBA (Important Bird Area) by BirdLife International for supporting a large breeding colony of around 100,000 pairs of Adelie penguins. Other nesting birds on the island include snow petrels, kelp gulls and imperial shags.
