Lugg Island is a small island lying 2 kilometres (1 nmi) northwest of Lake Island, off the west end of Breidnes Peninsula, Vestfold Hills, Antarctica. It was first plotted from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Dr. D. Lugg, medical officer at Davis Station, 1963, who visited the island for biological studies.[1]
