Talk:Dougherty Island

Ummmm?!? How can you circumnavigate an island that's not there?

google for "Dougherty island" new zealand for some interesting links. It looks like Shackelton and Roald Amundsen both looked for it but were unable to find it. J.P. Ault seems to be the captain who circumnavigated Antartica in 1919, disproving its existance. When I have more time, I'll add this to the article, unless someone beats me to it.

co-ordinates
Hey,

Apparently, Captain Dougherty located the island at 59 20'S 120 20'W. This was confirmed by Captain Keates from England. Sorry for this sketchy information, but I got it from google earth community. Anyone know anything about this at all? It would be great to build a fuller article on this.

Rewrite
I rewrote the article based on Ramsay, No Longer on the Map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orcoteuthis (talk • contribs) 22:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Added the possibility of icebergs as the basis of the supposed sightings. Orcoteuthis (talk) 15:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
