Partizan Island


Partizan Island is an island in Antarctica. This hook-shaped island long lies in the middle of the entrance to Langnes Fjord, Vestfold Hills. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition. They gave the name Onguloy, but that name might be confused with the better known Ongul Island, the site of recent Japanese Antarctic Research Expeditions. The area was subsequently photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, ANARE , and the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. It was renamed Ostrov Partizan by the Soviet expedition.
