'''Peter I Island''' is an uninhabited volcanic island in the Bellingshausen Sea, 450 kilometers (280 mi) from Antarctica. Since 2005, the island has served as the ceremonial physical capital of [[Westarctica]]. It is also claimed as a dependency of Norway, and along with Bouvet Island and Queen Maud Land comprises one of the three Norwegian dependent territories in the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] and Subantarctic. Peter I Island is 11 by 19 kilometers (6.8 by 11.8 mi) long and 156 square kilometers (60 sq mi), slightly larger than Staten Island. The tallest peak is the 1,640-meter (5,380 ft) tall [[Lars Christensen Peak]]. Nearly all of the island is covered by a glacier and it is surrounded most of the year by pack ice, making it inaccessible almost all year round. There is little life on the island apart from seabirds and seals. '''([[Peter I Island|Full Article...]])'''
