Inaccessible Island (Dellbridge Islands) Inaccessible Island is a small rocky island, the northernmost of the Dellbridge Islands, lying 1 nmi southwest of Cape Evans, Ross Island, Antarctica. It is the most imposing of the group as it is nearly always bare of snow and rises to 95 m . The island was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) under Robert Falcon Scott and so named because of the difficulty in reaching it.
