has gloss | eng: Emperor Island is a small island in Marguerite Bay, lying close northeast of Courtier Islands in the Dion Islands. The islands in this group were discovered and roughly charted in 1909 by the FrAE. This island was surveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and so named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because a low rock and shingle isthmus at the southeast end of the island is the winter breeding site of emperor penguins. |
