Presnakov Island (Bulgarian: Преснаков остров, romanized: Presnakov ostrov, IPA: [prɛsnɐˈkɔf ˈɔstrof]) is the 390 m long in southeast-northwest direction and 100 m wide rocky island lying off the west coast of Low Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.
The island is “named after Captain Ivan Presnakov (1932–2003), commander of the ocean fishing trawler Aurelia of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas during its fishing trip to Antarctic waters off South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands 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]
