Encyclopedia: Thule Island

Thule Island, also called Morrell Island, is one of the southermost of the South Sandwich Islands, part of the grouping known as Southern Thule. It is named, on account of its remote location, after the mythical land of Thule, said by ancient geographers to lie at the extreme end of the earth. (The alternative name Morell Island is after Benjamin Morrell, US explorer and whaling captain.)
