Brabant Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brabant Island is the second largest island of the Palmer Archipelago within the British Antarctic Territory, 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.
