Dee Island from English Strait, with Burro Peaks on the left and Greenwich Island in the background
Dee Island is the ice-free island lying between Greenwich Island and Aitcho Islands in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and is separated from Greenwich Island to the south by the 850 m (930 yd) wide Orión Passage (62°26′17″S59°47′45″W / 62.43806°S 59.79583°W / -62.43806; -59.79583) and from Aitcho Islands to the northeast by the 1.1 km (0.68 mi) wide Villalón Passage. Extending 1.9 by 1.37 km (1.18 by 0.85 mi), with the conspicuous Burro Peaks (62°25′38.2″S59°46′45″W / 62.427278°S 59.77917°W / -62.427278; -59.77917) in the southeast rising to 190 m (620 ft), and surface area 197 hectares (490 acres).[1] The small Montufar Island (62°25′36.6″S59°45′24.9″W / 62.426833°S 59.756917°W / -62.426833; -59.756917) and Araguez Island (62°25′57.8″S59°47′15″W / 62.432722°S 59.78750°W / -62.432722; -59.78750) are lying 650 m (710 yd) east of Dee Island and 200 m (220 yd) east of its southern tip Dragash Point respectively. The area was visited by 19th century sealers.
Dee Island was charted and named, probably from its shape, by Discovery Investigations in 1935, while Montufar Island is named after a member of the Second Ecuadorian Antarctic Expedition who had an accident during the building of Pedro Vicente Maldonado Base.
