''' Gardner Island''' is a largely ice-free island which lies about 3&nbsp;km west of Broad Peninsula in the southern [[Vestfold Hills]], in [[Prydz Bay]] on the [[Ingrid Christensen Coast]] of [[Princess Elizabeth Land]], [[Antarctica]]. It has been designated an [[Important Bird Area]] (IBA) by [[BirdLife International]] because it supports about 27,000 breeding pairs of [[Adélie penguin]]s. [[Snow petrel]]s also breed on the island. The nearest permanent research station is Australia's [[Davis Station]], 3&nbsp;km to the east on Broad Peninsula.<ref name=bli> {{cite web |url=http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/gardner-island-iba-antarctica |title= Gardner Island |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2015 |website= BirdLife Data Zone|publisher= BirdLife International|access-date= 5 November 2020|quote=}}</ref>
