Paulet Island

Paulet

Kerucut piroklastik · Antarctica · 353 m

Paulet Island, seen here from the northwest, is a 1.8 x 2.2 km island located east of the tip of Graham Land Peninsula. A basal sequence of horizontal lava flows exposed in steep cliffs is capped by a well-preserved cinder cone complex (top center) with a small distinct summit crater. The darker brownish areas near and above the shoreline at the center of the photo are Adelie penguin colonies.

Ringkasan geologi

Paulet is a 1.8 x 2.2 km island located east of the tip of Graham Land Peninsula composed of lava flows capped by scoria cones. The morphology of the younger summit cone suggests activity during the last 1,000 years (LeMasurier and Thomson, 1990).
