Andersen Harbour
Andersen Harbour is a natural harbour formed between Eta Island and Omega Island among the Melchior Islands, a cluster of islands between Anvers Island and Brabant Island amongst the larger Palmer Archipelago west of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The harbour was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1927 and probably named after Ola Andersen, Captain of the factory ship Svend Foyn, following the usage of Norwegian whalers who had operated in the area.
