Casabianca Island is a low, rocky island lying in Neumayer Channel 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) northeast of Damoy Point, Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, 1903–05, who named it for Monsieur Casabianca, then French Administrator of Naval Enlistment.[1]
