Deception Island

This is a map of Deception Island. It is a volcanic Caldera located in the South Shetland Islands. The South Shetland Islands are North of the Antarctic peninsula and South of the Falklands. It is the only place in the world where a sea-going ship can steam into an active volcanic caldera. What if this interesting place were modeled for war gaming purposes?

The various rectangles (red, white, medium blue and also the pale inset area) represent 4x6 ft (48x72 inch) standard gaming tables if the island was modeled at a scale of 1:1200. Note that the whole map is 10x10 tables. Therefore, if the entire map was considered one 4x6 ft table, Deception Island could be modeled on that single table IF the island was modeled at a  scale of 1:12000 (that's twelve-thousand) instead of 1:1200.

The triangles mark various summit locations and the tiny red dot in the entrance channel marks a submerged  hazard to navigation. The white/royal blue scale bars are (top to bottom) 7200 feet and 2000 meters long.
