Adams Island is the part of Auckland Islands Archipelago . The southern end of the island broadens to a width of 26 kilometres. Here, a narrow channel known as Carnley Harbour (on some maps the Adams Straits) separates the main island from the roughly triangular Adams Island (area approximately 100 km2), which is even more mountainous, reaching a height of 660 m with Mount Dick. The channel is the remains of the crater of an extinct Volcano , and Adams Island and the southern part of the main island form the crater rim. SEE ALSO |
