Nesholmen Island is a small island lying 0.93 kilometres (0.5 nmi) off Djupvikneset Peninsula in southern Lützow-Holm Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Nesholmen (the ness islet) because of its proximity to Djupvikneset Peninsula.
