Lecointe Island is an elongated island, long between Cape Kaiser and Hvarchil Point, wide and high, separated from the east coast of Brabant Island by Pampa Passage, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica.〔 The island was first roughly surveyed by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, which gave the name ''Cape Kaiser'' to its northern extremity. The island was surveyed and photographed by several British expeditions, 1955–58, and was named by them for Georges Lecointe, second-in-command and surveyor of the Belgian expedition which was responsible for the first survey of Gerlache Strait. ==Maps== *(Antarctic Digital Database (ADD). ) Scale 1:250000 topographic map of Antarctica.
