What are the gps coordinates? I want to look it up on Google Maps.

Generally somewhere around here:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/wy1PNDWcvP7h9d4j7?g_st=ic

I notice that this area isn’t fully imaged. Just around the known existing islands.



From the article: “The team will publish the exact position of the island once the naming process is complete”


Wonder if it'll be close enough to Greenland for the US (or others) to put a base on it? ;)


It is located on antarctic waters.


Thanks, misread that. ;)


> What are the gps coordinates?

You mean the latitude and longitude.

There are many ways of calculating a position beyond one particular GNSS system.
