Morency Island is an island long, lying close west of Steele Island and northwest of Cape Bryant, off the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by members of the East Base of the United States Antarctic Service who explored this coast by land and from the air in 1940, and was named for Anthony J.L. Morency, a tractor driver for the East Base. See also List of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands References Islands of Palmer Land
