Quần đảo Chim cánh cụt (tiếng Afrikaans: Pikkewyn-eilande, tiếng Đức: Pinguininseln) are a historical group of mostly scattered islands and rocks situated along a stretch of 355 kilômét (221 mi) along the coastline of Namibia. Not forming a geographic whole, the Namibian government formally lists them as the Off-Shore islands. Their name comes from the presence of African penguins which inhabit the coastal region surrounding Namibia and South Africa.

Địa lý

The islands are scattered over a long coastal region. Although a few of them form small clusters or groups, such as the islands in Lüderitz Bay, the Penguin Islands lack the mutual proximity of a natural archipelago or island chain.

The largest island is Possession Island with 0,90 kilômét vuông (0,35 dặm vuông Anh)[chuyển đổi: số không hợp lệ] in area. Hollam's Bird Island is the most northern and, at a distance of 10,3 kilômét (6,4 mi)[chuyển đổi: số không hợp lệ], the farthest from the coast. All islands together measure 2,35 kilômét vuông (0,91 dặm vuông Anh)[chuyển đổi: số không hợp lệ] in area.[1]

Islands

Listed from the most northern to the most southern, the islands include the Penguin Islands (in the historic, narrower sense - printed in bold):

History

Uninhabited, strategically located, rich in guano deposits and even offshore diamond fields, the islands had considerable value for their size. They were visited by European traders from the 17th century onwards, primarily for the valuable guano.[2] Between 1861 and 1867 they were annexed by Britain, and then in 1873 by the Cape Colony. International confusion over the legality of the transfer required Prime Minister John Molteno of the Cape Colony to reaffirm the annexation later, with the Ichaboe and Penguin Islands Act (1874).[3]

The annexation was originally intended to form part of an overall absorption of South West Africa into the Cape Colony forming one locally governed British colony. This was to be instituted by the Palgrave Commission (1876).

British interference and the resulting break-down in relations between the British Empire and the local Cape government obstructed the Commission's work long enough for Germany to declare South West Africa a German protectorate in 1884 as part of the continent wide Scramble for Africa. The offshore islands (and Walvis Bay) were excluded from German administration by their status as Cape constituencies.[4] This status was recognised by Germany in 1886. Thus, although close to the mainland the islands were not part of German Southwest Africa.[5]

In 1990 South-West Africa gained independence as Namibia. The Penguin Islands remained under South African sovereignty, thus letting it retain an Exclusive Economic Zone off the Namibian coast. After further negotiation, at midnight on 28 February 1994 sovereignty over the islands, as well as Walvis Bay, was transferred to Namibia.[6]
