Christiania Islands

The Christiania Islands are a group of islands and rocks between Liege Island and Trinity Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, off Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The islands were charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache, who named the group for Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, where he obtained assistance and equipment for the expedition.

• Intercurrence Island (63°55’59"S, 61°24’58"W), the largest
• Gulch Island (63°59’48"S, 61°28’59"W)
