From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintana Island is a small isolated island, lying 10 km (6 mi) northeast of Betbeder Islands in the southwest part of the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was first charted as a group of islands by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Charcot for Manuel Quintana, then President of Argentina. A survey in 1957–58 by the British Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit found only one island in this position.
