Torgersen Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torgersen Island ( ) is a small rocky island lying just east of Litchfield Island in the entrance to Arthur Harbor, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955. Named by the UK-APC for Torstein Torgersen, first mate of the Harbor in late February 1955, preceding the Norsel in one of the ship's boats and making soundings.
