Novyy Island
Novyy Island is the larger and southern island of two similar ice covered features that serve to delimit the Jelbart [Ice Shelf|Jelbart] and Fimbul Ice Shelves, on the coast of Queen [Maud Land]. The summit of this feature rises about 250 m above the surrounding ice shelf. The island was partly delineated by the Sixth [Norwegian Antarctic Expedition|Norwegian Antarctic Expedition], 1956–60. It was mapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1961 and named "Kupol Novyy".
