Halfway Island is an island lying 2.5 miles northwest of Litchfield Island, off the southwest coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Halfway Island is located at 64°45′S 64°12′W / 64.75°S 64.2°W / -64.75; -64.2. Surveyed by the British Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit in 1956-1957. The name arose because the island lies halfway between Arthur Harbor and Cape Monaco, a route frequently traveled by boat by members of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) at the Arthur Harbor station.
