About Me

Hi! I am Kristin McGuine. Growing up, my family loved camping, and we spent many weekends hiking, biking, and canoeing together. To this day, I love outdoor adventure such as hiking, biking and paddling.

I have a background in association management as a Marketing Manager. I have been fortunate to use my skills and expertise for the good of mission-driven organizations and the passionate people driving them forward.

On WednesdayIsland.com, I bring my communications experience to my own personal passion – nature, wildlife, and conservation.

Where in the World IS Wednesday Island, Anyway?

I don’t exactly remember how I settled on the name Wednesday Island for this site. But as I was thinking about that, I wondered if Wednesday Island actually exists anywhere. It turns out, there are at least two:

  • In Antarctica, Wednesday Island is an island at the east end of Wauwermans Islands in the north part of Wilhelm Archipelago. It was reportedly named for the day on which it was first sighted in the mid-1930s by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE).   
  • The other Wednesday Island is one of hundreds of islands in the Torres Straight off the Cape York Peninsula along the northern coast of Australia. It is also known as Mowaru Island. 

Both Wednesday Islands are uninhabited and infrequently visited. So infrequently, in fact, that there is next to no information at all about either on the internet.

And you can find information on  anything on the internet, right?!
