Humble Island

Humble Island

Humble Island is a small rocky island lying 0.4 miles southeast of Norsel Point in Arthur Harbor, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Humble Island is located at coord|64|46|S|64|06|W|. Humble Island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. Humble Island was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1956 because the island seems to be squeezed insignificantly between Litchfield Island and the coast of Anvers Island.
