Einstødingen Island

Einstødingen Island is a lone island lying 19 kilometres (10 nmi) east of Padda Island in southern Lutzow-Holm Bay. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named "Einstødingen" (the hermit) because of its isolated position.[1]
