Arthur Harbor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Harbor is a small harbor entered between Bonaparte Point and Norsel Point on the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Arthur Harbor is located at 64°46′S 64°04′W. Arthur Harbor was roughly charted by the French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905) under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. Arthur Harbor was surveyed in 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who established a station near the head of the harbor. Arthur Harbor was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1956 for Oswald Raynor Arthur, then Governor of the Falkland Islands.
