Brabant Island

[1] A paper summarizing the Joint Services expedition of 1984–1985 describes the island as "notoriously inhospitable" and states that there is evidence for only six visits between the discovery in 1898 and 1984.On 6 February 2024, for the first time since 2017, British Royal Navy personnel from HMS Protector landed on the island in an effort to clear three tonnes of waste and abandoned equipment from the 1980s antarctic expedition.[3] The Brabant Island Tectonic Block includes up to 2000 m of basaltic-andesitic lavas and volcaniclastics, possibly corresponding to the Lower Cretaceous Antarctic Peninsula Volcanic Group of the Danco Coast.This group is intruded by a granodiorite sill and Early Eocene hypabyssal dykes.Late Tertiary to Pleistocene basaltic lavas uncomformably overlay this complex.
