Padda Island is an island lying near the west side of the entrance to Havsbotn in Lutzow-Holm Bay. The island and its named features were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. The island was named Padda (the toad) because of its shape.[1]
