Chappel Island

Chappel Island is the largest of the Donovan Islands, lying about northwest of Clark Peninsula in the eastern part of Vincennes Bay. The island has a number of large Adélie penguin rookeries. It was first mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named by the Advisory [Committee on Antarctic Names] for Chief Warrant Officer R.L. Chappel, United States [Marine Corps], motion picture officer on Operation Highjump photographic flights in this area and other coastal areas between 14 and 164 east longitude.
