Berkner Island

Berkner Island is an Antarctic ice rise. It is surrounded by the Filchner and Ronne ice shelves, separating them. Bedrock below sea level has caused the surrounding ice sheet to create a dome, so the island is completely ice-covered. It is about 150km) west of Luitpold Coast, Coats Land, and lies in the overlapping portion of the Argentine and the British Antarctic territorial claims.

It is about 320 kilometers long and 150 kilometers wide, with an area of 44,000 km2. It is characterized by two domes, Reinwarthhöhe rises 698m in the north, and Thyssenhöhe reaches 869m in the south.
