== Geography ==
Beaufort Island was created by volcanic activity and is made of basalt. It is semi circular in shape. The highest point in the island is Paton Peak, at . The island has varied terrain and habitats. Much of the western side of the island is covered by moderately sloping ice fields with ice cliffs about high on the coast. The east and south sides of the island are mostly free of ice, with steep inaccessible cliffs that rise straight from the sea. Here the ice-free ground has a gentle slope and has ponds in summer and small meltwater streams that drain to the coast.〔Stonehouse, Bernard, 2002, ''Encyclopedia of Antarctica and the Southern Oceans'', John Wiley and Sons, p. 25, ISBN 0-471-98665-8.〕〔(Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 105 Beaufort Island, McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea ), National Science Foundation.〕
