	Antarctic Philately: The peri-Antarctic Islands
		This island is of volcanic origin along with one smaller island, Shag Island, 11 km to the north.
		The island is of sedimentary origin and covers 128 km² with the highest elevation being Mt. Hamilton at 433 m.
		Inaccessible Islands lie 30 km to the west and all are of sedimentary origin.

	Encyclopedia of the Antarctic
		Comprising three large islands (Young, Buckle, and Sturge) and numerous islets and stacks (including Sabrina, Row, Borradaile, Chinstrap, and Monolith), the Balleny Islands are located 66° 15' to 67° 10'S, 162° 15' to 164° 45'E, which is approximately 150 miles (240 km) off the coast of Victoria Land in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica.
		The islands are heavily glaciated, with cliffs of rock or ice and a few gravel beaches, and are volcanic in origin, although no recent seismic activity has been recorded.
		The Balleny Islands are the only truly marine or oceanic islands (as opposed to continental islands) other than Scott Island on the side of Antarctica that they are on, making them distinctive from any neighboring areas.

	Balleny Islands
		The Balleny Islands form a chain of uninhabited, mainly volcanic, islands in the Southern Ocean streching from 66°15' to 67°35'S and 162°30' to 165°00'E. The group contains three main islands: Young[?], Buckle[?] and Sturge.
		They were first sighted in 1839 by the english whaling captains John Balleny and Thomas Freeman[?].
		Freeman was the first person to land on any of the islands on February 9 1839.

		Buckle Island and the nearby Sabrina Islet are home to several colonies of Adelie and Chinstrap penguins.
		The islands' area totals 400 kmÂ² and the highest point reaches 1524 m (the unclimbed Brown Peak on Sturge Island).

	Antarctic Explorers: Carsten Borchgrevink
		Commander Leonard Kristensen and the crew of the ANTARCTIC investigated whaling possibilities throughout the sub-Antarctic islands and eventually landed at Cape Adare on January 24, 1895.
		On January 28, 1900 the SOUTHERN CROSS returned for the party and early in the morning, while all were asleep, Captain Jensen knocked on the door, calling "Post!" The first to winter over on the Antarctic mainland, Borchgrevink and the crew sailed around the coast into the Ross Sea and towards the Ross Ice Shelf.
		They landed on Possession Island and found the tin box that was left there in 1895.

	Balleny Islands - Definition, explanation
		The Antarctic Circle crosses very close to Borradaile Island, in the eight kilometre channel between Young and Buckle Islands.
		Buckle Island and the nearby Sabrina Islet are home to several colonies of Adelie and Chinstrap penguins.
		The English whaling captains John Balleny and Thomas Freeman first sighted the group in 1839: Freeman was the first person to land on any of the islands on February 9 1839, and it was the first landing south of the Antarctic Circle.

		The islands' isolation and local conditions means research in the Balleny Islands has never been easy.
		The expedition was the first to have put divers into the waters around the Balleny Islands, and hours of videotape from the dives is still to be analysed, though Dr Smith predicts there are more discoveries to be made.
		One of the Balleny Islands, Sabrina Island, is an Antarctic Specially Protected Area, partly because of the tiny population of chinstrap penguins living there - the only chinstrap penguins for thousands of kilometres in any direction.

	Balleny Islands
		The Balleny Islands lie over 2000 kilometres south of New Zealand, a little to the north-west of the mouth of the Ross Sea and only a couple of hundred kilometres off the coast of Antarctica.
		Initial research on the waters surrounding the Balleny Islands suggests that the region may be a particularly important part of the larger Ross Sea ecosystem—an ecological hot-spot.
		As the only islands at that latitude for thousands of kilometres in either direction, the 160-kilometre chain of islands provides resting and breeding habitat for a number of seabird species and three seal species.

		Sabrina Island was accorded this status in recognition that the Balleny Islands are the most northerly Antarctic land in the Ross Sea region and support fauna and flora which reflect many circumpolar distributions at this latitude.
		Located 250km off the coast of Antarctica in the northern Ross Sea, the Balleny Islands are a rare \ldblquote oasis\rdblquote of land in the Southern Ocean and their position is far enough north to be directly in the path of circumpolar ocean currents.
		The establishment of a marine SPA around the Balleny Island is also consistent with international marine management and conservation objectives, in particularly with relation to the Convention on Biologicial Diversity.

	Antarctic History
		Between 1784 and 1822, millions of seal skins were taken from South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, the Cape Horn region, the South Sandwich Islands, and the coast of Chile.
		There was an abundance of elephant seals on the island and by 1855 whalers (turned sealer) had landed and begun harvesting the crop.
		Repairs were made at Petermann Island and Charcot headed south to continue his work of charting the coast of Graham Land and all offshore islands (work he had begun on the first expedition).

		A stepping-stone to Antarctica since its 1810 discovery, the island’s seabird and seal population has sustained many castaways, including a shipwrecked party that spent four years here in the 1830s.
		This often ice-choked waterway between Ross Island and the Transantarctic Mountains is an historian’s dream.
		Heavily glaciated and often shrouded in cloud, this 190km chain of three main volcanic islands was named by sealer John Balleny in 1839.

		Several other eruptions were reported from these islands in the following years, when fur sealing was at its peak in the region.
		And in 1839 an eruption was in progress in the Balleny Islands when they were first discovered by whalers.

		The Balleny Islands (67 S, 163 E) are a group of five main islands of volcanic origin extending over a distance of 105 miles.
		A difficult and brief landing was made at Eliza Cone on the W coast of Buckle Island, this being a significant achievement, as there have never been any landings made on this part of the island group.
		The Balleny Islands survey consisted of using the MBES swathe to maximum potential by sounding all coastal areas within 5 miles of the coast.

		Deception Island is of special interest because on at least three occasions, eruptions have occurred simultaneously from multiple vents around a ring fracture.
