Comments

Borradaile Island is about 4 km long and 2 km wide, lying 7 km southeastward of Young Island, in the Antarctic Circle. Borradaile Island is one of the Balleny Islands and was discovered in February 1839 by John Balleny, who named it for W. Borradaile, one of the merchants who united with Charles Enderby in sending out the expedition. The first landing on the island was by Captain Freeman of the cutter Sabrina on February 12, 1839. This was the first time a human set foot south of the Antarctic Circle. The island features the "remarkable pinnacle" called Beale Pinnacle, near Cape Beale on its south-eastern coast.On its north-western coast is located Cape Scoresby.
This island (66°35′S 162°45′E) is part of the Westarctica Territories.
