Spume Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spume Island is a small, low, rocky island lying 1.5 miles southwest of Bonaparte Point, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Spume Island is located at 64°48′S, 64°07′W. Spume Island was surveyed by the British Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit, 1956-1957. Spume Island was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) because heavy seas break over the island in a gale; spume is blown spray.
