Jacquemart Island
Jacquemart Island, one of the islets surrounding Campbell Island in New Zealand, lies south of Campbell Island and is the southernmost island of New Zealand.
While Jacquemart Island belongs indisputably to New Zealand, New Zealand also claims territory in Antarctica which stretches to the South Pole. Like other Antarctic territorial claims, New Zealand's jurisdiction over the Ross Dependency is not recognised by most nations. The name commemorates Captain J. Jaquemart, of the vessel FRWS ''Vire'', that supported the French 1874 Transit of Venus Expedition to Campbell Island.
==Geography==
Jacquemart Island consists of a stack with an area of , being about in length by in width and surrounded by precipitous cliffs at least high at their lowest. Its highest point is about asl. It is an eroded remnant of basaltic lavas originally laid down on a sedimentary base. Because of its inaccessibility from the sea, the first visit by humans to the island did not take place until 29 December 1980 when a small party of scientists was landed by helicopter on the summit ridge for a 90-minute survey. Subsequent short visits were made in 1984 and 1997.〔Foggo, M.N.; & Meurk, Colin D. (1981). (Notes on a visit to Jacquemart Island in the Campbell Island Group ).
