Cormorant Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cormorant Island is an island lying off the south side of Anvers Island, 2.5 miles East-southeast of Bonaparte Point, in the Palmer Archipelago. Cormorant Island is located at 64°48′S, 63°58′W. Cormorant Island was shown on an Argentine government chart of 1954, but not named. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1958 because of the large number of cormorants on the island.
