Wombat Island is a small island just off the east end of McKinnon Island, off the coast of Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) after the wombat, a native animal of Australia. Since 2016 home to a small German team researching wombat wildlife.
