Mishka Island (Bulgarian: остров Мишка, romanized: ostrov Mishka, IPA: [ˈɔstrof ˈmiʃkɐ]) is the mostly ice-covered island 751 m long in west–east direction and 220 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 9.9 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a mouse ('mishka' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
