Lahille Island (65°33′S 64°23′W / 65.550°S 64.383°W / -65.550; -64.383) is an island 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of Nunez Point off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and charted as a point on the coast which Jean-Baptiste Charcot named after Argentine naturalist Fernando Lahille (1861–1940). Charcot's later expedition, 1908–10, determined the feature to be an island.[1]
