Danco Island or Isla Dedo is an island off Antarctica, 1 mile long lying in the southern part of Errera Channel, off the west coast of Graham Land. Danco Island is located at 64°44′S, 62°37′W. Danco Island was charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache, 1897-1899. Danco Island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from the Norsel in 1955, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) for Emile Danco (1869-1898), Belgian geophysicist and member of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, who died on board the Belgica in the Antarctic.
