Pythia Island is an island 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long, the largest of a group of small islands off the east side of Enterprise Island in Wilhelmina Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 after Christen Christensen's whaling factory Pythia, which operated from nearby Gouvernoren Harbor during the 1921-22 whaling season.
