The Atom Rock is an island-like reef rock off the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . In the group of the Bragg Islands, it lies in the middle of the Crystal Sound 800 m northeast of Rambler Island .
The rock was mapped on the basis of measurements by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1958 and 1959. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 based on the profession of the namesake of the associated archipelago.
