Wood Island is a conspicuous rocky island in Hero Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica lying southeast of Desolation Island and Miladinovi Islets and forming the south side of Blythe Bay. Surface area 14 hectares (35 acres).[1]) The area was frequented by early nineteenth century English and American sealers operating from Blythe Bay.
The feature's name derives from the name 'Wood Harbour' or 'Port Wood' originally applied to Blythe Bay by Captain Robert Fildes in December 1820.
