Reluctant Island (67°50′S 67°5′W / 67.833°S 67.083°W) is a small island off eastern Horseshoe Island. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) 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 (BGLE) 1934–37 and was mapped as a peninsula by FIDS in 1948–50.
