Giant petrel survey on humble island
Humble Island is a small rocky island lying 0.74 km (0.4 nmi) south-east of Norsel Point in Arthur Harbour, off the south-west coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. 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.
