Earle Island is a small island 6 kilometres (3 nmi) southwest of Darwin Island which marks the southwest end of the Danger Islands. Following hydrographic work in the area from HMS Endurance in 1977–78, it was named, in association with Beagle Island and other names in the group, after Augustus Earle, an artist on board HMS Beagle.[1][2]
