Horseshoe Island
(Fallières Coast)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 67° 50' 9" S 67° 11' 19" W
between Bourgeois Fjord and Square Bay, Fallières Coast, was surveyed by the British Graham Land Expedition in 1936-37 and so named from its shape; resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Stonington Island', 1948-50, and from the the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey station on this island, 1955-57, when the shape was found to be less like a horseshoe than originally believed. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey station was established at Sally Cove (q.v.), 11 March 1955, and occupied continuously until evacuated, 21 August 1960.
