Adams Island, New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are other Adams Islands, including one more sub-antarctic island. See Adams Island for other meanings.
Adams Island is the part of Auckland Islands archipelago. The southern end of the island broadens to a width of 26 kilometres. Here, a narrow channel known as Carnley Harbour (on some maps the Adams Straits) separates the main island from the roughly triangular Adams Island (area approximately 100 km²), which is even more mountainous, reaching a height of 660 m with Mount Dick. The channel is the remains of the crater of an extinct volcano, and Adams Island and the southern part of the main island form the crater rim.
