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.
Hogg Islands The Hogg Islands are a group of small islands lying 0.5 nmi south of Kamelen Island in the northern part of the Stanton Group, Antarctica. These small islands were mapped from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and later by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). They were visited in 1969 by an ANARE dog-sledge party to the Taylor Glacier area. The islands were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Dr. J. Hogg, medical officer at Mawson Station in 1969. The central island in the group affords the best camp site in the area.
