Mendori Island is the northernmost in a group of three small islands which lie 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) northwest of the strait separating Ongul Island and East Ongul Island, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62, and was named "Mendori-jima" (hen island) by JARE Headquarters in 1972 in association with Ondori Island, which lies 0.4 kilometres; 0.2 miles (0.2 nmi) northward.[1]
