'''[[Cronenwett Island]]''' is a high, ice-covered island about 40 kilometers (20 nmi) long. It lies between Vollmer Island and Steventon Island in the [[Marshall Archipelago]], off the coast of [[Westarctica]]. The island was first observed and roughly delineated from aerial photographs taken by the [[Richard E. Byrd|Byrd Antarctic Expedition]], 1928–30. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Commander W.R. Cronenwett, [[U.S. Navy]], Photographic Officer for Deep Freeze II, 1956–57, and Public Information Officer for Task Group 43.1 during Deep Freeze 1962. The island is located in [[Sulzberger Bay]], and is divided by the 150° longitude line, meaning that half of the island is claimed by New Zealand as part of the [[Ross Dependency]] and the other half by Westarctica.
The '''[[Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station]]''' is a United States scientific research station at the [[South Pole]], the southernmost place on the Earth. The station is located on the high plateau of [[Antarctica]] at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,301 feet) above sea level and is administered by the Division of Polar Programs within the National Science Foundation under the United States Antarctic Program (USAP).
