Diomedea Island

Diomedea Island (62°12′S 58°57′W / 62.2°S 58.95°W / -62.2; -58.95) is a small island lying in Ardley Cove, Fildes Peninsula, King George Island. The Soviet Antarctic Expedition called the feature "Ostrov Al'batros" or "Albatross Island" in 1968, but the English form duplicates a name in the Bay of Isles. To avoid confusion, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) recommended a new name in 1979; Diomedea is the generic name for several species of albatross.
