Guile Iceland (of English guile , malice, deceit, malice ' ) is an island off the Loubet coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . In the Biscoe Islands archipelago , it is 1.5 km southwest of Duchaylard Island .
The island was mapped during the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it that way in 1959 because several supposedly safe landing sites on the island are bordered by numerous reef rocks that are difficult to see.
