Lichen Island
Lichen Island is a small island lying 9 kilometres (5 nmi) north of the Bølingen Islands and 5 kilometres (2.5 nmi) north-west of Cleft Island in southern Prydz Bay, Antarctica. It was first visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party led by Phillip Law, on 5 February 1955, and named by him for the rich growth of lichens found there.[1]
