Revolver Island (Bulgarian: остров Револвер|ostrov Revolver, in Bulgarian pronounced as /ˈɔstrof rɛˈvɔɫvɛr/) is the partly ice-free island 645 m long in southwest–northeast direction and 284 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 8.77 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a revolver handgun, and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
