Vromos Island (which is ostrov Vromos in Bulgarian) is a small, rocky island located in the icy lands of Antarctica. It's about 600 meters (that's like six football fields!) long from east to west and 260 meters wide. This island sits in a place called Perrier Bay, which is on the northwest coast of Anvers Island. Anvers Island is part of a group of islands known as the Palmer Archipelago.
Vromos Island is separated from another island, Trebishte Island, by a passage that's about 300 meters wide. The island got its name from Vromos Bay, a beautiful bay on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast.
