Everything about Amsler Island totally explained
Amsler Island is located off the coast of the
Antarctic Peninsula. It is named after
American marine biologists Charles (Chuck) and Margaret (Maggie) Amsler of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The island is a triangular plot of land approximately 1.3 miles long and 0.6 mile wide at its widest point. It is once thought to be part of a larger island known as
Anvers Island because the gap between the islands was covered by the Marr Ice Piedmont. Rapid recession of the ice revealed this as a separate island in 2004. The United States Board on Geographic Names chose this name in 2007 in recognition of the Amslers' three decades of research in the Anvers Island area. Amsler Island was the original site of the United States Antarctic Program research base
Palmer Station from 1965 until the current station approximately one-half mile away was constructed in 1968.
