Todorova Island (Bulgarian: остров Тодорова, romanized: ostrov Todorova, IPA: [ˈɔstrof todoˈrɔvɐ]) is the triangular ice-covered island extending 1 km in southwest–northeast direction and 450 m in southeast–northwest direction, separated from the southwest coast of Belding Island in Biscoe Islands by a 1.2 km long passage narrowing to 80 m at points. Its surface area is 26.2 ha. The feature was formed as a result of the retreat of Belding Island's ice cap in 2011–2012.[1]
