Guile Island
Guile
Island
is an
island
lying
southwest
of
Duchaylard Island
, in the
Biscoe Islands
of
Antarctica
. It was charted by the
British Graham Land Expedition
under
John Rymill
, 1934–37, and so named by the
UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee
in
1959
because, while there
appears
to be a number of
landing
places
on this island,
numerous
underwater
rocks
make
approach
dangerous
, so requiring
guile
in the
attempt
.
