'''Grassholm''' is an island {{convert|1|mi}} south of [[Frida Hole]], along the south coast and near the west end of [[South Georgia Island|South Georgia]] in the South Atlantic ocean. The name "Em Island" was given for this feature, probably by [[Discovery Investigations]] personnel who surveyed this coast in 1926.

The [[South Georgia Survey]] (1951–52) reported that this feature is known to whalers and sealers as "Grassholmen," and that Em Island is unknown locally. The indefinite form of the name has been approved<ref name=gnis/> (without the suffix ''-en'', which denotes the [[definite article]] in [[North Germanic languages]]).{{Citation needed|date=May 2012}}
