Annenkov Island
Annenkov Island is to the west of the main island of South Georgia. The Pickersgill Islands are to its southwest. It is irregularly-shaped and long and high, lying off the south-central coast of South Georgia.
==History==
The island was discovered in January 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook, who named it Pickersgills Island for Lieutenant Richard Pickersgill of the expedition ship HMS ''Resolution''. It was rediscovered in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen on the ''Vostok'', who, thinking he was the discoverer of the island, named it Annenkov Island for Lieutenant Mikhail Annenkov, officer on the expedition ship. The name Pickersgill has become established for a group of islands to the southeast — see Pickersgill Islands.
