Flutter Island

Flutter Island is an irregularly shaped and almost two-part island in Prydz Bay on the Ingrid Christensen coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth Land . In the Vestfold Mountains , it is between Trigwell Island and the Breidnes Peninsula .

Norwegian cartographers mapped them as two islands using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Scientists from a 1957 to 1958 campaign as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions corrected this and gave the island its name. It is named after Maxwell John Flutter (* 1917), head of the Davis station in 1958.
