Rog Island (bg|остров Рог|ostrov Rog, pronounced as /bg/) is the partly ice-free island 557 m long in west–east direction and 208 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 5.06 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling an animal horn ('rog' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
