Kitney Island


Kitney Island is a small island east-northeast of the Smith Rocks, southwest of the Wiltshire Rocks, and northwest of the Paterson Islands, off the coast of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. The Lars Christensen Expedition first mapped this island which, though left unnamed, was included in a small group named by them "Spjotoyskjera". It was remapped by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for V.J. Kitney, a supervising technician at Mawson Station in 1968.
