Discovery and naming
The island was mapped from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37) and also photographed by the USN’s Operation Highjump (1946–47), the Soviet Antarctic Expedition of 1956, and by ANARE in 1957 and 1958. It was named Ostrov Zolotova by the Soviet Expedition after A.H. Zolotov, a hydrologist who died in Antarctica.[2]
Important Bird Area
A 167 ha site, which comprises all of Zolotov Island, neighbouring Kazak Island and the intervening marine area, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports about 23,000 breeding pairs of Adélie penguins, based on estimates made in 1981/82.[1]
