Oyayubi Island is a narrow rock island 2.8 kilometres (1.5 nmi). It lies close off Langhovde Hills, 3.7 kilometres (2 nmi) south of Mount Choto, in eastern Lutzow-Holm Bay. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957-62. The name "Oyayubi-jima" (thumb island) was given by JARE Headquarters in 1972 in association with Oyayubi Point (thumb point), the southern point of this island.
