Liege Island is an island, 9 nautical miles long and 3 nautical miles wide, in the Palmer Archipelago, off Graham land in the British Antarctic Territory. It lies immediately northeast of Brabant Island and is separated from Hoseason Island and Christiania Islands to the northeast by Croker Passage. Its interior is occupied by Brugmann Mountains.
The island was charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–1899) under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it for the Province of Liège in Belgium.[1]
