Reluctant Island

Reluctant Island is a small off eastern Horseshoe Island. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955–57. So named because of the feature's apparent reluctance to be recognized as an island; it did not appear on maps of the British Graham Land Expedition 1934–37 and was mapped as a peninsula by FIDS in 1948–50.
