| Notes |
General information (en): Separated from Graham Coast by Lemaire Channel, was discovered by GAE, 1873-74, in 1874 and named Booth-Insel by PolarschifffahrtsGesellschaft of Hamburg, probably after Oskar Booth or Stanley Booth (or both), members of the Hamburg Geographical Society at that time (GER map, 1875); roughly charted as a new discovery by BeAE in 1898 and renamed Île Wandel, after Carl Frederick Wandel (1843-1930), Danish Arctic explorer and hydrographer, who assisted the expedition and supplied surplus equipment from the Danish Ingolf expeditions of 1895 and 1896 (BEL chart, 1899). Wandel Island (GBR map in book, 1900). In 1904 the island was recharted as GAE's original discovery by FAE, 1903-05, which wintered at Français Cove on the N coast of the island, but to avoid confusion BeAE's name was retained (FRA book, 1906). Booth(-)Wandel Island (GBR book, 1911). Booth (Wandell) Island (GBR report, 1916). Booth Island (GBR chart, 1929; GBR gaz., 1955). In 1938 the UK Antarctic Names Sub-Committee decided to retain both names on GBR charts. In 1949 GBR approved the single name Booth Island. The island was photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956-57.Booth Island 65°05'S 64°00'W (www.geoscience.scar.org/geog/vol2extr.pdf). |

Belgica information (en): Y-shaped island, 5 mi long and rising to 980 m, in the NE part of the Wilhelm Archipelago. Discovered and named by a German expedition under Dallmann 1873-74, probably or Oskar Booth or Stanley Booth, or both, members of the Hamburg Geographical Society at that time. The US-ACAN has rejected the name Wandel Island, applied by the BelgAE, 1897-99, in favor of the original naming http://geonames.usgs.gov. |

Belgica information (en): Peak, 980 m, standing 1 km south of Gourdon Peak and marking the highest point on Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago. In 1898, the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache charted this area and applied the name “Ile Wandel” to this island which Dallmann had named Booth in 1873- 1874. Although Booth later became established as the name of the island, Gerlache’s naming has been preserved in the name for its highest peak. Carl F. Wandel (1843-1930) was Director of the Danish Hydrographic Service and assisted in preparations for the Belgian expedition. |

Belgica information (fr): Pic culminant à 980 m, situé à 1 km au sud du pic Gourdon et marquant le plus haut point de l’île Booth dans l’archipel Wilhelm. En 1898, l’expédition belge en Antarctique sous le commandement d’Adrien de Gerlache cartographia cette région et baptisa « île Wandel » l’île à laquelle Dallmann avait donné le nom de Booth en 1873-1874. Bien que le nom Booth se soit imposé par la suite pour désigner l’île, le nom proposé par de Gerlache a été préservé et désigne son plus haut pic. Carl F. Wandel (1843-1930) était directeur du Service hydrographique danois et participa aux preparations de l’expédition belge en Antarctique. |

Belgica information (nl): 980 m hoge berg 1 km ten zuiden van de Gourdon Berg en het hoogste punt op Booth Eiland in de Wilhelm Archipel. In 1898 bracht de Belgische Antarctica expeditie onder leiding van Adrien de Gerlache dit gebied in kaart en noemde het eiland ‘Wandel Eiland’. Dallmann had dit eiland in 1873- 1874 Booth Eiland genoemd en die naam werd dan ook voor het eiland gehandhaafd. De hoogste berg kreeg echter de naam die de Gerlache had gekozen. Carl F. Wandel (1843-1930) was directeur van de Deense hydrografische dienst en hielp bij het voorbereiden van de expeditie. |
