Data

Spine Island lies between Monroe Island, largest of the Larsen Islands, and Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The island was roughly charted by Powell and Palmer in 1821. It was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933, shown as quadrisected by narrow east-west channels, drying at low tide, and named descriptively.
