Charcot Island ,Smyley Island ,Latady Island ,Rothschild Island andHearst Island (note #5) are just rough estimates found on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Antarctic_and_sub-Antarctic_islands. The estimate of Latady Island (700 km²) is probably wrong. Another source claims it is 3,300 km². http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latady_IslandFigures about Swedish islands are from this site:
