Shut Island

Shut Island (остров Шут, ) is the partly ice-free island extending 573 m in west–east direction and 520 m in south–north direction in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 14 ha.

The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a jester hat ('shut' being the Bulgarian for 'jester'), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
