Bar Island (from English bar ' bar , bar' ) is an elongated, low and rocky island off the Fallières coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located 400 m from the western end of the Red Rock Ridge and about 1.4 km south of Gremlin Island .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1936) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill carried out a rough survey in 1936. A new survey was carried out between 1948 and 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey , which named the island after its shape.
