New Year, new name? Sometimes we have to update place names when new data comes our way. Satellite imagery recently showed us that Gooden Point on King George Island is actually an island rather than a point! Gooden Island is now marked on the South Shetland Islands 1:200000 map.

The vast new Brunt Ice Shelf #iceberg has been officially named #A81 - very catchy. 📸 also NEW: Sentinel-1 radar image of the new iceberg provided by Copernicus EU and ESA Earth Observation, which shows A81 moving west.
