Devil Island

It lies in a small cove 1 km north of Vega Island, east of the Trinity Peninsula.

It is characterised by several low hills rising to a maximum height of about 150 m.[1] Devil island is a recent volcano consisting of two basalt volcano necks, surrounded by extensive talus.

The site has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 15,000 pairs of Adélie penguins.

Other birds recorded as nesting there include brown skuas and snow petrels.
