The Miladinovi Islets (English; Bulgarian Миладинови острови Miladinowi ostrowi ) are a group of two small islands in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In Hero Bay on Livingston Island , they are 0.3 km south of Iratais Point from Desolation Island , from which they are separated by the Neck or Nothing Passage . The larger of them is 500 m long and 370 m wide, the other 350 m long and 200 m wide.

The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2006 after the brothers Miladinow , Dimitar Miladinow (1810–1862) and Konstantin Miladinow (1830–1862), Bulgarian poets and folklorists.
