'''Carney Island''' (73°57′S 121°00′W) is an ice-covered island, 110 km (68 mi) long and about 8,500 km2 (3,300 sq mi) in area, with all but its North coast lying within the [[Getz Ice Shelf]] on the coast of [[Westarctica]]. It is located between [[Siple Island]] and [[Wright Island]] along the coast of [[Marie Byrd Land]].

Carney Island was named by the United States Advisory Committee on [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Names (US-ACAN) for Admiral Robert Carney (1895–1990), Chief of Naval Operations during the organization of Operation Deep Freeze support for the International Geophysical Year of 1957–1958.

==Disputed territory==
In November 2008, Carney Island was claimed by the Kingdom of Finismund [[micronation]] as a prelude to the events that led to the [[Siple War]] in 2009. When Finismund ceased to exist in 2009, the claim to Carney Island was inherited by the [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]]. Flandrensis divided the island into seven counties: Brabantia, Cortoriacum, Luvanium, Staen, Hagebroeck, Cringhe and Dixmuda.

Although the island is claimed by both [[Westarctica]] and Flandrensis, the two nations have agreed to peacefully share responsibility for management of the island until such time as one or the other can successfully plant a flag on the actual territory.

==Coin==

In 2007, the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] minted a 2.50 WAD coin for Carney Island. The coin featured the portraits of the parents of the [[Duke of Sherman]], Westarctica's [[Minister of the Treasury]] from 2005 - 2010.
