🏔️ The Pricker

Albatross Island is a small islet located 2 miles (3 km) southeast of Cape Buller in the Bay of Isles. It is part of South Georgia, a British Overseas Territory to the east of Falkland Islands. Charted in 1912–13 by American naturalist Robert Cushman Murphy aboard the brig Daisy, it was named for the observation of albatrosses on the island. The eastern headland of the island is called the Pricker. The island has been designated as a Specially Protected Area, and has been closed to visitors since 2004.
