Zavadovskiy Island

Zavadovskiy Island, also known as Penguin Island, is an ice-covered island in the West Ice Shelf near Antarctica located at -66.71667°N, 86.4°W. It rises to 200 meters (656 feet) and is located 12 miles east of Mikhaylov Island. It was discovered by the Soviet expedition of 1956 which named it for Ivan Zavadovsky, second in command of the Imperial Russian Navy sloop-of-war Vostok in the Bellingshausen expedition in 1819–21.

A temporary field station named Druzhba was opened from May 20 to August 6 in 1960 on the island by the Soviet Union to study meteorological conditions.
