Morris Island (Antarctica)

Morris Island is an ice-covered island about 13 kilometres (7 nmi) long, lying 9 kilometres (5 nmi) west of Farmer Island in the Sulzberger Ice Shelf of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant J.E. Morris, U.S. Navy Reserve, who served aboard the USS Glacier along this coast in 1961–62.
