Zherav Island (bg|остров Жерав|ostrov Zherav, pronounced as /bg/) is a mostly ice-covered island in the Wauwermans Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. It is 1.71 km long (measured west-southwest to east-northeast) and 377 m wide; its surface area is 29.55 ha.[1]
Zherav Island is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a common crane in flight ('zherav' is the Bulgarian for that bird) and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
According to British mapping in 2001, Zherav Island is located at -64.9731°N -63.8828°W, which is 3.55 km south-southeast of Host Island, 4 km west of Brown Island, 194 m north of Kril Island, 7.19 km north-northwest of False Cape Renard on Graham Land, and 5.74 km northeast of Mishka Island in the Dannebrog Islands group.
