Demidov Island

Demidov Island (67°29′S 48°21′E / 67.483°S 48.35°E / -67.483; 48.35) is a small island 5 nautical miles (9 km) north of the mouth of Rayner Glacier and 9 nautical miles (17 km) southwest of Hydrographer Islands along the coast of Enderby Land. It appears that the island was mapped by both ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) and the Soviet expedition in 1957. Named by the Soviet expedition for Lieutenant Dimitri Demidov of the Russian expedition of 1819-21 under Bellingshausen.
