Debutante Island
Debutante Island is a narrow island located in the southernmost part of the Søstrene Islands. The island is mostly ice-covered except for a small rock outcrop and barely protrudes above the general level of the Publications [Ice Shelf]. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken during the Lars [Christensen Expedition], 1936–37, and was named "Debutante" in 1952 by John H. Roscoe because the island is just beginning to "come out" from under its ice cover.
