Bona Mansio Island (Bulgarian: остров Бона Мансио, romanized: ostrov Bona Mansio, IPA: [ˈɔstrov ˈbɔnɐ ˈmansio]) is the ice-covered island extending 750 m (2,460 ft) in east–west direction and 635 m (2,083 ft) in south–north direction lying in Papazov Passage, Biscoe Islands. The island is separated from the west coast of Krogh Island by a 700 m-long (2,300 ft) passage narrowing to 50 m (160 ft) at points. Its surface area is 30 ha. The feature was formed as a result of the retreat of Krogh Island's ice cap around the turn of 21st century.
The island is named after the ancient Roman road station of Bona Mansio in Southern Bulgaria.
