Brøde Island

Brøde Island is a small, rounded tussock-covered island, 1 nautical mile southwest of Green Island, off the southern tip of South Georgia. It was first charted in 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook; it was roughly surveyed by a German expedition, 1928–29, under Kohl-Larsen, who appears to have used the name "Hauptinsel" for this feature.
