Lacuna Island
Lacuna Island is a small island lying 15 km east of Tula Point, the northern end of Renaud Island, in the Pitt Islands, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos obtained by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd, 1956–57, and was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the island lies in a lacuna in the vertical air photos.| Tap on a place to explore it |
