Clarification needed - DI personnel
editThis article says that the island was charted by "DI personnel on the Discovery II". Nowhere can I find what "DI" means in this context. Any ideas? Matt 18:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Nice work. I noticed two issues, though: (1) the QPQ has not yet been completed, and (2) the image used in the nomination is not present in the article. If these two issues are fixed this can be approved. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:57, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- QPQ added and image also added. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:19, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Subduction trench location
editIn this article, it says that the Atlantic Plate is subducting under the western side of the Sandwich Plate. The South Sandwich Plate article shows the subduction to the east. Kelseymh (talk) 02:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
