Breaker Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breaker Island is a small rocky island off Antarctica lying close southwest of Norsel Point, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Breaker Island is located at 64°46′S, 64°07′W. Surveyed by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. So named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the island causes breakers when the sea is rough.
