Humble Island


Humble Island is a small rocky island lying south-east of Norsel Point on Amsler Island, off the south-west coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. Humble Island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955. Humble Island was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1956 because the island seems to be squeezed insignificantly between Litchfield Island and what was then considered the coast of Anvers Island.

Birds

The island formed part of the Northern Arthur Harbour Important Bird Area number 013, identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports significant seabird breeding colonies. The Arthur Harbour IBA was delisted in 2015.
