Ofelia Island (Bulgarian: остров Офелия, romanized: ostrov Ofelia, IPA: [ˈɔstrof oˈfɛlijɐ]) is the 560 m long in southeast-northwest direction and 270 m wide rocky island in Ambush Bay on the north coast of Joinville Island in the Joinville Island group, Antarctica.
The island is “named after the ocean fishing trawler Ofelia of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas that operated in Antarctic waters off South Georgia during its fishing trip under Captain Nikola Levenov from September 1977 to April 1978. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.”[1]
