Harrop Island is a small island lying close to the coast and 6 kilometres (3 nmi) northwest of Felton Head, Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J.R. Harrop, a weather observer at Wilkes Station in 1960.[1]
