Marion Island
Marion Island and Prince Edward Island (sometimes collectively called the Prince Edward Islands, even though Marion is the larger and more visited island) are two islands of the Southern Ocean, south of – and territory of – South Africa. They should not be confused with Prince Edward Island, the province of Canada.
