Warriner Island is a small ice-freeisland in theDonskiye Islands group lying just off the west end ofBreidnes Peninsula in theVestfold Hills, off the coast ofEast Antarctica. It is 1.2 km long by 0.7 km wide, reaching an elevation of 52 m.[1]
It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by theLars Christensen Expedition of 1936–1937, and was named by theAntarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for A. Warriner, the radio officer atDavis Station in 1961.
A 68 ha site, comprising the whole island, has been designated anImportant Bird Area (IBA) byBirdLife International because it supports a breeding colony of about 24,000 pairs ofAdélie penguins, estimated from 2012 satellite imagery. The nearest permanent research station is Australia'sDavis, 4 km to the north-east on Breidnes Peninsula.[1]
