Emerging Island

Emerging Island (73°23′S 168°2′E) is an ice-covered island 2 nautical miles (4 km) long, lying 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east of Index Point, Victoria Land, Antarctica, in the northern part of Lady Newnes Bay. The feature appears to be barely emerging above the ice at the terminus of Mariner Glacier. It was named in 1966 by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee.[1]
