Spatnik Island (bg|остров Спътник|ostrov Spatnik, pronounced as /bg/) is the partly ice-free island 485 m long in west–east direction and 290 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 6.62 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a communications satellite ('spatnik' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
