Image Caption: South Sandwich Islands in the marginal ice zone of the ice pack extending from Antarctica. If you look closely you will see three islands. The center more prominent one is Visokoi Island (56.7S 27.2W) with a peak at 3300 feet. North, or toward the edge of the ice pack, is Zavodovski Island (peak elevation 1805 ft) and southward is Candlemas Island (peak elevation 1800 ft). In this region the ice edge reaches northward to about 54 deg south in September, when the water temperatures usually reach their coldest temperatures.
