Brabant Island is the second largest island of the Palmer Archipelago, lying between Anvers Island and Liège Island. Brabant Island is located at 64.25° S 62.33° W. Brabant Island is 33 miles long in a north-south direction, 16 miles wide, and rises to 2,520 m in Mount Parry. Brabant Island was named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897-1899) under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it after the former province of Brabant, Belgium, in recognition of the support given to the Belgian Antarctic Expedition by its citizens.
