Lion Island, Géologie Archipelago

Lion Island is a small rocky island 0.4 kilometres (0.2 nmi) north-northeast of Petrel Island in the Geologie Archipelago. It was surveyed and named by the French Antarctic Expedition (1949–51) under Andre Liotard. The name derives from the rock summit of the island which has the shape of a lion's head.
