Hedgehog Island is a small, bare granite island, or stack, in Moubray Bay, Antarctica 2 kilometres (1 nmi) south of Helm Point. It was first visited in 1957 by a small party from Hallett Station, and was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957–58, because of its shape.[1]
