L’Isola Smith (in lingua inglese: Smith Island) è una delle isole che compongono l'arcipelago delle Isole Shetland Meridionali, in Antartide.

Sull'isola non sono presenti stazioni o basi di ricerca scientifica ed è raramente visitata da scienziati o alpinisti.

Caratteristiche

È situata 72 km a ovest dell'Isola Deception. Ha una lunghezza di 32 km e una larghezza di 8 km. Si estende su una superficie di 206 km2.[1][2]

La superficie dell'isola è interamente occupata dall'Imeon Range, una dorsale montuosa che si innalza fino ai 2.105 m del Monte Foster,[3] la seconda vetta dell'intero arcipelago. Le cime sempre innevate della dorsale sono visibili da grande distanza.

Denominazione

La notizia dell'esistenza di quest'isola fu riportata per la prima volta nel 1819 dal capitano William Smith al quale è oggi dedicata. L'isola venne visitata dai cacciatori di foche già nel 1820 e la denominazione è ormai entrata nel linguaggio ufficiale, anche se nella letteratura russa viene comunemente chiamata Isola Borodino o indicata come Borodino (Smith) Island.[4]
