descend gradually to the north where a small peninsula, covered with penguin rookeries, extends toward Booth Island. The shores are steep vertical cliffs, and the points are foul, making landings difficult. No anchorages have been reported at this island. Another small peninsula forms the southern extremity of Hovgaard Island, off which are a number of rocks. A rock, which breaks, has been charted mid-way between Hovgaard and Petermann Islands. Sampaio Ferraz Islands consisting of about 10 rocky islets lie close northwestward of the Hovgaard Island northern peninsula. These islets stretch northwestward for distance of 2 miles.
