Bremen Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bremen Island (German: Bremeninsel) is a 1 km² uninhabited island, part of the Melchior Islands in the Southern Ocean along the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
A 1 km long channel (Bremenkanal) separates Omega Island and Bremen Island. The existence of the channel was discovered during a zodiac excursion on 2 February 2003 by the German cruise ship MS Bremen, named after the German city of Bremen. The name "Bremen Island" was proposed by Bärbel Krämer of Hapag-Lloyd.
