    Overview

    Table Island is a conspicuous flat-topped, rocky island lying north of Greenwich Island and north-northwest of the Aitcho group on the west side of English Strait in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The island is rising to over 150 metres (492 feet) and extending 1.4 by 1 kilometre (0.87 by 0.62 miles), with a surface area of 112 hectares (280 acres). It is separated from Aitcho Islands to the south-southeast by the 1.9-kilometre (1.2-mile) wide Klimash Passage. Turmoil Rock (62°21′17.9″S 59°47′02.5″W) is lying 1.32 kilometres (0.82 miles) southeast of Table Island and 1.65 km (1.03 mi) north-northeast of Morris Rock. The area was visited by early-19th-century sealers. The island was descriptively named by sealers from its shape, while the rock was descriptively named from the breakers it creates, following a survey from HMS Protector in 1967.
