Christine Island is an island {{convert|0.5|nmi|km|1|disp=flip|abbr=on}} long which lies {{convert|1|nmi|km|1|disp=flip|abbr=on}} off the south coast of Anvers Island and {{convert|1.5|nmi|km|1|disp=flip|abbr=on}} southeast of Bonaparte Point. The name of Christine Island was proposed by the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) biologist Dietland Müller-Schwarze after his wife Christine Müller-Schwarze, who studied Adélie penguins with him on the island in 1971–1972.[https://geographic.org/geographic_names/antname.php?uni=2770&fid=antgeo_105/ Christine Island: Antarctica]
