Lindenberg Island
(Larsen Ice Shelf)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 64° 55' 26" S 59° 41' 5" W
rising 200m above Larsen Ice Shelf near the ice front, NE of Seal Nunataks (q.v.), Nordenskjöld Coast, was charted as a volcanic island by Larsen, 11 December 1893, and named Lindenbergs Sugarpot after C. Lindenberg, partner in the Hamburg firm of Woltereck and Robertson (which despatched Larsen's expedition), a manager of A/S Oceana, and part-owner of the expedition ship Jason, the island being shaped like a sugar-loaf; also called Lindenberg Volcano or Lindensberg Volcano. The island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay', 1952-54. In 1981-82 the island was reported to be an active volcanic centre; this is unconfirmed.
