Island
Description
An island approximately 13km long and 4.7km at its widest, and 380m high, forming the west shore of Evans Cove and lying in the outer edge of the Nansen Sheet at Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land.; First explored by the Northern Party, led by Victor Lindsay Arbuthnot Campbell, of the British Antarctic (Terra Nova) Expedition, 1910-13, which gave it the name of Southern Foothills in contradistinction to the Northern Foothills to the northeast. In February 1912, when the party moved their camp to this island, they changed the name to Inexpressible Island. Here they spent a very unpleasant winter on half rations in a cave in a snowdrift. Not Oscar Island or Southern Foothills.
