Wyche Island


Wyche Island is a small island just south of the west end of Burnett Island in the Swain Islands. This region was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, ANARE , and the Soviet expedition. The island was included in a 1957 ground survey by C.R. Eklund. He named it for aerographer's mate Paul A. Wyche, U.S. Navy, a member of the Wilkes Station party, 1957.
