Kizer Island is an ice-covered island about 30 kilometres (15 nmi) long, lying 20 kilometres (10 nmi) southwest of Cronenwett Island at the west end of the Sulzberger Ice Shelf off Saunders Coast, Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and from U.S. Navy air photos (1959–65), and was named for Lieutenant T.L. Kizer, U.S. Navy, a helicopter pilot on the USS Glacier (AGB-4) who sighted the island from the air on January 26, 1962.[1][2]

L'isola Kizer è un'isola rocciosa della Terra di Marie Byrd, in Antartide. L'isola, che è completamente ricoperta dai ghiacci e che si estende in direzione est/ovest per circa 30 km e in direzione nord/sud per circa 20, è situata nella parte della Terra di Marie Byrd che si sovrappone alla parte nord-orientale della Dipendenza di Ross e della fa parte dell'arcipelago Marshall; come le altre isole di questo arcipelago anch'essa si trova davanti alla costa di Saunders, all'interno della baia di Sulzberger, dove è quasi completamente circondata dai ghiacci della piattaforma glaciale Sulzberger e dove giace subito a est dell'isola Cronenwett.[1]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
