Penguin Island, South Shetlands

Penguin Island (62°06′ S 057°54′ W) is an island 1.6km long, which lies close off the S coast of King George Island and marks the eastern side of the entrance to King George Bay, in the South Shetland Islands near Antarctica.

Sighted in January 1820 by a British expedition under Bransfield, and so named by him because penguins occupied the shores of the island.
