Ressac Island (66°42′S 141°14′E) is a small rocky island 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) east of Houle Island and 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Zelee Glacier Tongue. Photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47. Charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1949–51, and so named by them because the surf breaks over the island. "Ressac" is the French word for surf.
