island
Note
The island, about 2.5 km long, where the Electra was to land and the Itasca waited. The point is within 60 m of Wikidata's (0.8067 N, 176.6164 W). The 1937 searches and the later sonar surveys lie in the open ocean around it and are not mapped as places, because their bounds are not published.
