Inexpressible Island

Location

Inexpressible Island is sn island, 7 mi long, in Terra Nova Bay at the outer edge of the Nansen Ice Sheet. First explored by the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE), 1910-13, and called "Southern Foothills" in contradistinction to the Northern Foothills. The name was changed to Inexpressible Island by the party after spending a very unpleasant winter on half rations in a cave in a snowdrift on the island.
