Bodloperka Island (Bulgarian: остров Бодлоперка, romanized: ostrov Bodloperka, IPA: [ˈɔstrov bodloˈpɛrkɐ]) is the partly ice-free island 688 m long in south-southwest to north-northeast direction and 473 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 22.43 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling an emperor angelfish ('bodloperka' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
