McCarthy Island
McCarthy Island is an island 4 kilometres long, lying just northeast of Fold Island, off the coast of Kemp Land, Antarctica. It was mapped as part of Fold Island by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, but was identified as a separate island by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions geological party in 1961.McCarthy Island
