Pear Island

Pear Island (64°31′S 62°54′W) is a small island lying immediately southwest of False Island, off the northeast coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. The existence of the island is noted on a British hydrographic chart of 1929; the name is presumably descriptive of shape and appears on a British hydrographic chart of 1952.
