Rongé Island or Curville Island or De Rongé Island or Isla Curville or Rouge Island is a high, rugged island {{convert|8|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long, the largest island of the group which forms the west side of Errera Channel, off the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctica. Rongé Island is located at {{Coord|64|43|S|62|41|W|}}. Rongé Island was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–1899) under Adrien de Gerlache who named it for Madame de Rongé (cousin of Johannes Ronge), a contributor to the expedition.

Geography

Sherlac Point ({{Coord|64|44|S|62|40|W|source:GNIS}}) is a point at the southeast end of the island first charted and named "Cap Charles" by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897-99. To avoid confusion with Charles Point in Hughes Bay, an anagram of the name was adopted by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960.[1]
