Padpadak Island

Padpadak Island (остров Пъдпъдък, ) 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. Its surface area is 8.35 ha.

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.
