Treklyano Island (Bulgarian: остров Трекляно, romanized: ostrov Treklyano, IPA: [ˈɔstrof ˈtrɛkʎɐno]) is an island off the northeast coast of Robert Island, South Shetland Islands Extending 330 by 250 m (360 by 270 yd), with a low rocky formation projecting 300 m (330 yd) northeastwards, the island emerged as a distinct geographical entity following the retreat of Robert Island's ice cap in the late 20th century. Named after the settlement of Treklyano in western Bulgaria.
