Green Island
(Berthelot Islands)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 65° 19' 25" S 64° 8' 55" W
N-most of the Berthelot Islands (q.v.), Graham Coast, was roughly charted by the British Graham Land Expedition, 10 February 1935, and named descriptively since the island supports one of the most extensive areas of green moss (Pogonatum or Polytrichum spp.) in the Antarctic Peninsula area. In 1967 the island was designated SPA No.9 under the Antarctic Treaty.
