Dixson Island is a high ice-covered island, long and wide, at the west side of the mouth of Ninnis Glacier. It was discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Sir Hugh Dixson of Sydney, a patron of the expedition. The northern point of Dixson Island is Cape Pollock. See also List of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands References Islands of George V Land
