Torgersen Island

Torgersen Island (coord|64|46|S|64|5|W) is a small rocky island lying just east of Litchfield Island in the entrance to Arthur Harbor, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955. Named by the UK-APC for Torstein Torgersen, first mate of the "Harbor" in late February 1955, preceding the "Norsel" in one of the ship's boats and making soundings.
