| '''Wednesday Island''' is an island {{convert|1|nmi|km mi}} long, at the east end of [[Wauwermans Islands]] in the north part of [[Wilhelm Archipelago]], [[Antarctica]]. The Wauwermans Islands were discovered by the German expedition under [[Eduard Dallmann]], 1873–74, and were later roughly mapped by the [[Belgian Antarctic Expedition]] under [[Adrien de Gerlache|Gerlache]], 1897–99, and the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under [[Jean-Baptiste Charcot|Charcot]], 1903–05. Wednesday Island was charted by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), 1934–37, under [[John Riddoch Rymill|John Rymill]], and so named because it was first sighted on a [[Wednesday]]. | '''Wednesday Island''' is an island {{convert|1|nmi|km mi}} long, at the east end of [[Wauwermans Islands]] in the north part of [[Wilhelm Archipelago]], [[Antarctica]].
