Peter I Island, located in the Bellingshausen Sea opposite Ellsworth Land, is seen here from the north showing the Lars Christiansen Peak. This volcanic island has a steep coastline and is more dissected on the northern side, with a broader more gentle slope to the south. The most recent dated activity occurred about 100,000 years ago.
