Hayrick Island is a small prominent rock mass, more than 150 metres (500 ft) high, between Lodge Rock and Twig Rock in the Terra Firma Islands, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The Terra Firma Islands were first visited and surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill. Hayrick Island was surveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and so named by them because, when seen from the east, its high mass has an appearance suggesting a hayrick.^[1]
