Higasi-Teøya ( Japanese 東 テ オ イ ヤ 'Eastern Tea Island' ) is a small island off the Prince Harald coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is the easternmost of the three Teøyans in the Flatvær archipelago .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them in 1946 using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 . Japanese scientists, who also named it, repeated this with the help of surveys and aerial photographs of a Japanese Antarctic expedition carried out from 1957 to 1962.
