Cooper Island

Cooper Island is a small island to the south east of the main island of South Georgia.
It is 2 miles (3.2 km) long and lies at the north side of the entrance to Drygalski Fjord, off the southeast end of South Georgia. It was discovered by a British expedition under James Cook in 1775, and named for Lieutenant Robert Palliser Cooper, an officer aboard the Resolution.
A navigable channel, Cooper Sound, nearly 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, separates Cooper Island from the southeast coast of the main island of South Georgia. There is a small bay, Cooper bay, 1.3 miles (2.1 km) southwest of Cape Vahsel on the mainland, and 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of Cooper Island, indenting the southeast end of South Georgia, which derives its name from Cooper Island.
It is 416m at its highest point, and the upper parts of the island are above the snow line. (...) more....
