Padpadak Island (Bulgarian: остров Пъдпъдък, romanized: ostrov Padpadak, IPA: [ˈɔstrof pɤdpɤˈdɤk]) is the mostly ice-free island extending 442 m in southwest–northeast direction and 390 m in southeast–northwest direction in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region.
[1] The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a common quail bird ('padpadak' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
It abuts Shut Island on the northeast, and is situated 62 m northwest of Sprey Island and 1.62 km east-northeast of Skoba Island.
