Is Ross Island really the world's southernmost island? If the maps are correct, Berkner Island reaches further South, and another island (or just an ice rise?) in Ronne Ice Shelf, presumably unnamed, is still further south.Ratzer 09:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

These figures need to be cited appropriately. Gflores Talk 20:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North of the Antarctic Circle

I just made a correction. Previously, the article said that the Antarctic peninsula is the only part of the continent to be north of the Antarctic Circle. This is incorrect. Several capes in East Antarctica are north of the AC.

A handful of research bases on that side of the continent are north of the circle.
