Borceguí Island
Island in Antarctica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borceguí Island (61°3′S 55°9′W) is an ice-free island in the South Shetland Islands, midway between Cape Yelcho and the Gibbous Rocks, 2 kilometres (1 nmi) off the north coast of Elephant Island. The name was applied by the command of the Argentine sea-going tug Chiriguano in the 1954–55 cruise; in Spanish "borceguí" means half-boot and describes the shape of the island.[1]
