Curie Island
Curie Island is a small rocky island near the eastern end of the Géologie Archipelago, lying southwest of Derby Island, close north of Astrolabe [Glacier Tongue]. It was photographed from the air by U.S. [Navy Operation Highjump], 1946–47. It was charted by the French [Antarctic Expedition], 1949–51, and named by them for the noted French family of physicists and chemists: Pierre Curie and Marie Curie.
