Ringkasan geologi

Young Island is the northernmost and second largest of the Balleny Islands off the coast of Antarctica's Victoria Land. Captain Balleny, the discoverer of the islands, reported "smoke" issuing from Freeman Peak on Young Island on 12 February 1839. The island, almost completely mantled by ice, has a broad plateau-like summit reaching 1340 m.
