From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kirsty Island is an island in Ryder Bay, west of Lagoon Island and East of Léonie Island.[1] It has outcrops of reddish rocks and is used by scientists at Rothera Research Station as a site for marine research and recreation. It is named for Kirsty Brown, a marine biologist with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) who was drowned to death by a leopard seal while snorkeling at Rothera Station in July 2003.[2]
