Chërnyy Island

Chërnyy Island is a small island lying 0.9 kilometres (0.5 nmi) south of the eastern tip of Thomas Island in the Highjump Archipelago. It was mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47). It was rephotographed by the Soviet expedition (1956) and named Ostrov Chërnyy (black island).
