Kick 'em Jenny

专有名词

英文释义

专有名词
  1. An active submarine volcano on the Caribbean Sea floor, located 8 km (5 mi) north of the island of Grenada, or the strait where it lies.
    — Even then, if she cannot lie S.E.b.S. at least, her reaching them will be very doubtful, and her best way will be to go through the passage between Kick-'em-Jenny and Carriacou, in order to weather Grenada before she gets into the strong lee current which prevails between that island and Trinidad, and renders it very difficult for ships to fetch Point Saline from the Bocas.

词源

Applied to the volcano after it erupted in the 1930s; the name was previously used for the small islet nearby (now called Diamond Rock) and the waters around it, where the volcano is located, perhaps in reference to their roughness.
