	Anvers Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anvers Island or Antwerp Island or Antwerpen Island or Isla Amberes is a high, mountainous island 38 miles long, which is the largest feature in the Palmer Archipelago, lying southwest of Brabant Island at the southwestern end of the group.
		On Anvers Island, the British Antarctic Survey built and operated a station for the purpose of survey and geology.

		The soils of Litchfield Island have not been described, although peaty soils may be found in areas where there is, or once was, rich moss growth.
		The plant communities at Litchfield Island were surveyed in detail in 1964 when the vegetation was well-developed and comprised several distinct communities with a diverse flora.
		A permanent survey marker was installed by the USGS on 9 February 1999 near the summit of the island at 64°46'13.97"S, 64°05'38.85"W at an elevation of 48 m, about 8 m west of the cairn.

	ABANDONED PENGUIN COLONIES AND CLIMATE CHANGE
		Studies at Palmer Station, Anvers Island (64° 04' W; 64° 46' S), Western Antarctic Peninsula, are indicating that abandoned colonies contain a wealth of information not only on the occupation history of penguins, but also on their past diet and foraging strategies.
		The presence of bones of adult and juvenile Adelie penguins at all sites except on Cormorant Island, and the absence of bones that could be verified as other pygoscelid species, suggests that these colonies were occupied in the past only by the former species.
		These data further suggest that Adelie penguins may have shifted their diet from a relatively greater proportion of squid prior to the LIA to a greater proportion of fish during the LIA, perhaps in response to warming and cooling cycles that may have affected prey abundance.

	TEA: Reynolds- -- 3.29.2000
		As we neared the southeast corner of Anvers Island, there appeared to be land everywhere ahead, mountains and glaciers rising from the sea in all directions.
		The sun set behind the peaks of Brabant Island on our left, but long after we were in the shade the tops of the mountains on the Danco coast were lit up in pure orange-yellow alpenglow.
		The light is located on Guesalaga Island, east of Lecointe Island, which is itself off the east coast of Brabant Island.

		They sailed to Anvers Island, landing at Borgen Bay, which opens onto the Neumayer Channel.
		They had planned to haul their supplies and equipment across the rock and ice to set up a base camp at Bull Ridge (at the base of Mt. Francais), but were unable to find a suitable route from their location on the island to attempt an ascent on Mt Francais.
		As is often the case with Antarctic expeditions, the conditions of the ice, as well as the weather, can cause delays and cancellations of the best made plans.

	The Rolex Awards: pioneering Antarctica expedition, K. Hankinson
		Brabant Island, an 80-kilometre finger of land to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula, has apparently been visited only three times since it was first discovered in 1898.
		The rest of the men and supplies travelled in two inflatable boats (the rafts were too heavy to be transported by helicopter) in a hazardous, 200-kilometre, two-week trip to Brabant Island, believed to be the longest open-boat journey ever undertaken in Antarctica.
		Team members from the Brabant Island expedition have gone on to organise scientific research in the Antarctic, Greenland, Canada and Zimbabwe.

		Until recently, Biscoe Point was on a peninsula joined to Anvers Island by an ice ramp extending from the adjacent glacier.
		The landward (eastern) boundary on the northern promontory bisects the peninsula at the point where it protrudes from Anvers Island, distinguished by a small bay cutting into the glacier in the south and a similar, although less pronounced, coastline feature in the north.
		The minimum recorded temperature is -31°C and the maximum is 9°C, while the annual mean is -2.3°C. Specific descriptions are not available of the geology of island on which Biscoe Point lies, or of the peninsula to the north.

	Peakbagger.com - World Island High Points above 2000 meters
		I believe that this list of all the islands in the world with peaks of over 2000 meters is about 90% complete or more.
		There could be islands in Antarctica or Indonesia that have been omitted, but probably not too many.
		The distance columns show how far it is to the nearest higher peak in the master database, and is a rough measure of how isolated the island is. Mid-ocean islands will have high values, since they are far from higher peaks on continental landmasses.

		With Liège Island off the starboard bow and Two Hummock Island to port, we were entering the Gerlache Straight.
		We passed Lion Island, a windswept knoll and made our way into the Neumayer Channel, a 16 mile passage of water which separates Anvers Island from Wiencke Island.
		It is late spring and calving at glacier termini has producing an abstract, bas-relief or running frieze along the shoreline: deep channels, scallops of neon blue and jagged shears of ice.

		This is one of the islands that will have a pretty good amount of wildlife year round, and I was hoping to practice my photo skills.
		We didn’t see any penguins on land (just swimming in the water), but we did see three types of seals and several varieties of birds, including a bunch of giant petrel chicks that are just getting to the stage where they’re losing their down and getting their permanent feathers.
		We got halfway to that island, and were about a mile and a half away from the station when we detected a smell on the wind that totally changed our plans…lunch!

		The applicant proposes to set up a temporary camp at White Island that would be occupied by 3-4 people for up to one week in order to continue tagging seal pups and collecting tissue and blood samples for further study.
		The one week stay is long enough to ensure that each individual at the colony has been identified, which is vital to accurate predictions of population size and relatedness between individuals.
		The applicant proposes to enter Litchfield Island 2-3 times a week and Biscoe Point up to 5 times a season, for 2- 3 hours each visit, to census seabirds and seals and conduct habitat mapping.
