Egg Island is a circular island 2.8 kilometres (1.5 nmi) in diameter and 310 m high, lying 1.9 kilometres (1 nmi) west of Tail Island in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel. Probably first seen by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04. Egg Island was charted in 1945 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because of its relative position to Tail, Eagle and Beak Islands.
