Chanticleer Island

Chanticleer Island () is a nearly snow-free island, 1 mile (1.6 km) long, lying off the northwest end of Hoseason Island in the Palmer Archipelago. The island was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 after HMS Chanticleer (Captain Henry Foster), whose party made a landing in this vicinity on January 7, 1829.[1]
