Brøde Island


Brøde Island is a small, rounded tussock-covered island, southwest of Green Island, off the southern tip of South Georgia. It was first charted in 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook; it was roughly surveyed by a German expedition, 1928–29, under Kohl-Larsen, who appears to have used the name "Hauptinsel" for this feature. Following a survey in 1951–52, the South Georgia Survey reported that the name Brøde is firmly established among whalers and sealers for this island and the name is approved on this basis.
