Midas Island

Midas Island is an island lying northwest of Apendice Island in Hughes Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. First seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache in 1898 and described as an island with two summits "like the ears of an ass." The name, given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960, derives from this description; Midas, King of Phrygia, was represented in Greek satyric drama with the ears of an ass.
