ANTARCTICA | ROTHSCHILD ISLAND TUNNELS

Is an island 39 kilometres (24 mi) long, mainly ice covered but surmounted by prominent peaks of Desko Mountains in Antarctica, 8 kilometres (5 mi) west of the north part of Alexander Island in the north entrance to Wilkins Sound.

The Rothschilds were major sponsors of the French Antarctic Expedition, so the expedition named an island after Baron Édouard de Rothschild.
