Inaccessible Island (Dellbridge Islands)

Inaccessible Island is a small, uninhabited island in the Dellbridge Islands group off Ross Island in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. It is a volcanic, rocky island notable primarily for its remote Antarctic environment.

The island is a very remote destination with no visitor facilities; any visitation is limited to scientific parties or specialized Antarctic expeditions and landings are uncommon. There are steep shorelines and typical Antarctic wildlife in surrounding waters rather than developed attractions.

The Dellbridge Islands and nearby Ross Island were charted during early Antarctic exploration; the islands have remained uninhabited and largely unchanged except for occasional scientific use. There is no permanent human presence on the island.

Geographically it lies in McMurdo Sound in the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica, adjacent to Ross Island and within the polar environment governed by the Antarctic Treaty system.

• Remote and restricted: Part of the Dellbridge Islands near Ross Island in McMurdo Sound and is uninhabited; access is generally limited to scientific and expeditionary visits under Antarctic Treaty arrangements.
