❄️ Stuckless Glacier

Black Island is an island in the Ross Archipelago. It is 12 nautical miles long and projects through the Ross Ice Shelf to a height of 1,040 metres (3,410 ft). It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, which named it for its appearance. The island is largely ice-free and primarily composed of black volcanic rock. The island's northernmost point is named Cape Hodgson, named after Thomas Vere Hodgson, one of the oldest members of the Discovery Expedition.
