Kosatka Island (Bulgarian: остров Косатка|ostrov Kosatka, in Bulgarian pronounced as /ˈɔstrof koˈsatkɐ/) is the mostly ice-covered island 653 m long in west–east direction and 195 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 8.86 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a killer whale ('kosatka' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
