Greblo Island (bg|остров Гребло|ostrov Greblo, pronounced as /bg/) is the mostly ice-covered island 763 km long in west–east direction and 95 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 4.7 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling an oarfish ('greblo' being the Bulgarian for 'oar'), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
Greblo Island is located at -65.0282°N -64.0611°W, which is 3.94 km north by west of the west extremity of Booth Island, 509 m east-southeast of Meduza Island, 25 m south of Raketa Island and 1.46 km northwest of Rollet Island. British mapping in 2001.
