Tail Island is a circular island 1.25 nautical miles in diameter and 130 m high, lying midway between Egg Island and Eagle Island in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel.

Islands in this area were first seen by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04. Tail Island was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1945, and so named by them because of its relative position to Eagle and Beak islands.
