Depot Island

Depot Island is a small granite island lying 2 nautical miles northwest of Cape Ross, off the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the South Magnetic Pole Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09 and so named by them because they put a depot of rock specimens on this island.
