Reluctant Island

Reluctant Island (67°50′S 67°5′W / 67.833°S 67.083°W / -67.833; -67.083Coordinates: 67°50′S 67°5′W / 67.833°S 67.083°W / -67.833; -67.083) is a small island off eastern Horseshoe Island. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 195557. So named because of the feature's apparent reluctance to be recognized as an island; it did not appear on maps of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) 193437 and was mapped as a peninsula by FIDS in 194850.
