	South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
		South Georgia and its associated islands, which consist of the island of South Georgia Island, which is by far the largest island in the territory, the islands that immediately surround the main island of South Georgia and some remote and isolated islets west and east-southeast of the main island of South Georgia Island.
		The climate in the islands is variable and harsh, with mostly westerly winds throughout the year interspersed with periods of calm; nearly all precipitation falls as snow.

		To the northwest of Zavodovski Island is the Protector Shoal, a submarine volcano.
		The islands have large bird and seal populations, and, recognizing the importance of preserving the marine stocks in adjacent waters, the UK, in 1993, extended the exclusive fishing zone from 12 nm to 200 nm around each island.

	Visokoi Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Visokoi Island (56°42′S 027°12′W) is one of the South Sandwich Islands, 7.2 km (4.5 mi) long and 4.8 km (3 mi) wide, capped by Mount Hodson, a volcanic peak (915 m).
		It was discovered in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, who named the island Visokoi (high) because of its conspicuous height.
		The peak is named after Sir Arnold Weinholt Hodson, a governor of the Falkland Islands.

		The South Sandwich Islands consist of 11 islands (from north to south): Zavodovski, Leskov (the smallest), Visokoi, Candlemas, Vindication, Saunders, Montagu (the largest), Bristol, Bellingshausen, Cook and Thule.
		The South Sandwich Islands are 760km south east of South Georgia, and cover 310 sq m.
		Even though these islands are more northerly than the South Shetlands (or even the South Orkneys), they have a much colder climate (due to the cold ocean current coming from the Weddell Sea).

		The South Sandwich islands are tall enough to disrupt the cloud patterns forming and flowing around them.
		However, appearances can be deceiving, as the wake patterns extending due eastward from each of the islands suggest that the air mass is moving to the east.
		For example, the peak on Zavodovski, the northernmost of the islands, stands at 1,807 feet (551 m), while the peak on Visokoi, the island just south of it, is 3,295 feet (1,005 m) tall.

	Antarctic Cruise
		Antarctic islands are the islands in the Southern Ocean or in the seas around Antarctica inside of Antarctic Circle.
		In fact, these islands, as well as all territories and ice shelves south of the 60 S parallel, fall into the Antarctic Treaty, which freezes all territorial claims made by the signatory countries.
		So, even though these islands are claimed by Argentina, Chile and the UK, it is not correct to identify them as belonging to the UK or any other country.

		The clouds are disrupted into wake patterns by the volcanic peaks of the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic.
		The islands’ peaks range in elevation between 1,807 feet (551 meters) to 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) above the ocean surface.
		For example, the peak on Zavodovski, the northernmost of the islands, stands at 1,807 feet (551 meters), while the peak on Visokoi, the island just south of it, is 3,295 feet (1,005 meters) tall.

		These volcanic islands with an ice cap on the top are windswept and often shrouded in mist and fog, but do offer subtle pleasures.
		Due to the unpredictability of landings, we are allocating 48 hours to have multiple opportunities to land at Bouvet Island (Norwegian territory), another volcano in Antarctic waters topped by an ice-cap, with a rich fauna of seabirds and seals near the coasts.
		At the southwest side of the island we should have the best opportunities to land at Larsöya and Kapp Norvegia, which have some protection from the swell from the west.

		In the Southern Atlantic, located about 525 miles (845 km) east of South Georgia Island, a chain of eleven volcanic islands rises up from the ocean in an arc that extends roughly 240 miles (400 km) north to south.
		Known as the South Sandwich Islands, these volcanic peaks stand on the Earth’s South Sandwich Plate, which is moving eastward at the stately pace of 2.75 inches (7 cm) per year.
		The islands’ peaks range in elevation between 1,807 feet (551 m) and 3,600 feet (1,100 m), and stand in about 8,500 feet (2,600 m) of water.

		The South Sandwich Islands are a chain of eleven volcanic islands that rise up from the South Atlantic Ocean in an arc that extends roughly 240 miles (400 km) north to south.
		Note that the size of the wakes as well as the angle they form coming off the islands correlates fairly well to the height of the islands.
		Additionally, observe that the wakes produced by the islands are fanning out and forming interference patterns where they meet one another.

		The largely ice-covered, 6 x 8 km Visokoi Island consists of a single stratovolcano, Mount Hodson, whose rounded 1005-m-high summit lies west of the center of the island.
		Numerous basaltic scoria cones were constructed on the lower flanks of the oval-shaped island, which is part of the Traverse Islands in the northern part of the South Sandwich Island chain.
		The youthful morphology of Visokoi Island suggests that volcanic activity has continued until virtually the present time (LeMasurier and Thomson, 1990).
