McCarthy Island as named after Timothy McCarthy, who sailed on the "Endurance" during an expedition for the Antarctic under which captain?
Endurance (1912 ship) Endurance was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. She was launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway and was crushed by ice, causing her to sink three years later in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica.
Grey Island (South Orkney Islands) Grey Island is 1 km south of Michelsen Island and 2 km west of the southern part of Fredriksen Island, in the South Orkney Islands of Antarctica. It was first charted and named "Holmen Graa" (Grey Island) on a map by the Norwegian whaler Captain Petter Sorlle, who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13. The anglicised form appears on the chart by Discovery Investigations personnel on the "Discovery II" who surveyed the islands in 1933.
