Day Island


Day Island is an island, long and wide, lying immediately south of The Gullet and north of Wyatt Island in the northern part of Laubeuf Fjord, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, who used the provisional name Middle Island for this feature. The island was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and renamed by them for Vice Admiral Sir Archibald Day, Hydrographer of the Navy.
