First charted in 1898 by a German expedition under Karl Chun. Recharted in December 1927 by a Norwegian expedition under Capt. Harald Horntvedt. Named by Horntvedt after Lars Christensen, sponsor of the expedition. Not: Christensenbreen, Christensens Bre.[1]

Notes

  1. ^ The coordinates 54°26′53″S 3°21′09″E / 54.4481°S 3.3525°E / -54.4481; 3.3525 are derived from Google Maps. Alberts (1995) gives 54°28′S 3°24′E / 54.467°S 3.400°E / -54.467; 3.400 (incorrect coordinates), which is a point in the sea some distance south of the island.[1]
