Buffer Island is a mostly ice-covered island lying west of the Wordie Ice Shelf, 17 kilometres (9 nmi) northwest of Mount Balfour, Fallières Coast. The feature was photographed from aircraft by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947. Following survey by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey in 1958 it was named "Buffer Ice Rise" by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) because it obstructed the northwestward flow of the ice shelf in this vicinity. The UK-APC amended the name to Buffer Island following a general eastward recession of the Wordie Ice Front in about 1999, which disclosed the feature to be an island.

  • Buffer Island (von englisch buffer ‚Dämpfer, Puffer‘) ist eine hauptsächlich vereiste Insel vor der Fallières-Küste der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie liegt westlich des Wordie-Schelfeises und 15 km nordwestlich des Mount Balfour. Erste Luftaufnahmen der Insel entstanden bei der Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). Der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey nahm 1958 Vermessungen vor. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie 1962 zunächst als Buffer Ice Rise, da sie den nordwestlichen Abfluss des Schelfeises behinderte, das sich somit zu einer vermeintlichen Eiskuppel auftürmte. Die wahre Natur dieses geographischen Objekts offenbarte sich 1989 durch den starken Rückgang des Wordie-Schelfeises, was zu einer Umbenennung führte. (de)
