Data

Intercurrence Island is the largest of the Christiania Islands, part of the Palmer Archipelago in the British Antarctic Territory. It is four and a half miles long, at the north-eastern end of the Palmer group.

The island was roughly charted by Hoseason in 1824 and so named probably from its position between Trinity Island and Liège Island (the latter eight miles to the west). The island was further charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, which recorded that the existence of the island was in doubt until that time.

The island was further charted by Discovery Investigations in 1930-31. It was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956.
