Limoza Island
Limoza Island is a small rocky island in the Joinville Island group, off the coast of Antarctica. It is about 470 meters long (east to west) and 230 meters wide, and it sits roughly 1.5 kilometers north of D’Urville Island. The coordinates are 62°59′40.6″S, 56°16′27″W.
The island is uninhabited and is under the Antarctic Treaty System. It was named after the Bulgarian fishing trawler Limoza from the Ocean Fisheries – Burgas company, whose ships worked in Antarctic waters from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Bulgarian, Soviet, Polish and East German fishermen were early pioneers of the modern Antarctic fishing industry.
Limoza Island lies about 10.98 kilometers east-southeast of Cape Juncal, 6.32 kilometers southeast of Harris Rock, and 13.8 kilometers west-northwest of Français Rocks. It was mapped by Britain in 1973.
