Revsnes Island (69°17′S 39°37′E / 69.283°S 39.617°E / -69.283; 39.617) is a distinctive forked island with two branches, lying just off Hamnenabben Head in the east part of Lutzow-Holm Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Revsnes (fox's nose) because of its shape.
