Peace Island is a small island amongst the Melchior Islands, the latter a cluster of islands between Anvers Island and Brabant Island amongst the larger Palmer Archipelago west of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The island lies to the north-west of Eta Island, in Dallmann Bay. It was roughly charted by Discovery Investigations in 1927 and named Peace Islet. The island was further charted by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition in 1942 and 1943, and called Isla Iota after the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet, in association with the names of other islands in this group.
