- Hermit Island (Antarctic)
Hermit Island is an island nearly 1 mile long, lying 1.5 miles southeast of Bonaparte Point, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Hermit Island is located at coord|64|48|S|64|02|W|. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1958 because a member of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) at the Arthur Harbor station spent some time on this island alone in January 1957, making survey observations.
