largest of the Christiania Islands (q.v.), Palmer Archipelago, was roughly charted by Hoseason in 1824 and so named probably from its position between Trinity Island and Liège Island. The island was further charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, which recorded that the existence of the island was in doubt until that time. The island was further charted by Discovery Investigations, 1930-31. The island was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956.
