Prion Island Coord 54 1 S 37 15 W display inline,title is an island 1.5 miles 2.4 km north northeast of Luck Point , lying in the Bay of Isles , South Georgia . Charted in 1912 13 by Robert Cushman Murphy , American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, and so named because he observed petrel s of the genus Prion bird Prion on the island. The island has been designated as a Specially Protected Area by the South Georgia Government, due to its rat free status and breeding wandering albatross population. Visit is by permit, in that the island must be specifically named on the visit application and permit. A boardwalk with two viewing platforms was built in February March 2008 to prevent erosion of the access gulley and trampling of prion burrows. Visits are restricted as described in the GSGSSI Information For Visitors document as follows Closed between 20 November and 7 January Inclusive , to prevent disturbance of breeding fur seals at the landing beach. A maximum of two visits per day Landing at the designated beach only and all visitors to stay on the boardwalk Commercial visits to maintain a 1 10 staff to passenger ratio Maximum 50 people ashore at any time A visit is not to exceed 5 hours Thorough biosecurity checks to be made before landing The island is rat free and therefore a breeding area for South Georgia Pipit pipits and burrowing prions petrels.

It was discovered in 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook and so named by him because numerous islands at least twelve lie in the bay, many of which are named after local birds. These include Albatross Island South Georgia Albatross Island albatross Crescent Island Invisible Island Mollymawk Island mollymawk Skua Island skua Petrel Island South Georgia Petrel Island petrel Prion Island Prion bird prion Tern Island, South Georgia Tern Island tern The area, along with Grytviken is one of two Area of Special Tourist Interest ASTIs on the island.
