Deception Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Deception Island
Deception Island is an island in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, with one of the safest harbours in Antarctica. This island is the caldera of an active volcano, which seriously damaged local scientific stations in 1967 and 1969. The island previously held a whaling station; it is now a tourist destination and scientific outpost, with Argentine and Spanish research bases. While various countries have asserted sovereignty, it is still administered under the Antarctic Treaty System. == History ==
The first authenticated sighting of Deception Island was by the British sealers William Smith and Edward Bransfield from the brig ''Williams'' in January 1820; it was first visited and explored by the American sealer Nathaniel Palmer on the sloop ''Hero'' the following summer, on 15 November 1820. Palmer remained for two days, exploring the central bay. Palmer was the first to name the island "Deception".
