Klung Island is the largest island of the Klung Islands lying in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, as part of "Klungholmane" (the bramble islands), and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after the Klung Islands.[1]
