Sars Bank


Sars Bank is located in the Drake Passage in between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica. The bank's coordinates are, about 350 km south of Diego Ramírez Islands and 500 km from the South Shetland Islands. The top of the bank lie a few hundred meters under sea level.
The coordinates of the bank coincides with the inferred positions of the phantom Elizabeth Island as seen by Francis Drake's expedition in 1578. If the Sars Bank was ever above sea level it may have had significant biogeographical importance as a "bridge" between South America and Antarctica.
