Tupman Island lies two miles to the east of Pickwick Island, the largest of the Pitt Islands, a group within the Biscoe Islands group in the British Antarctic Territory.
The island was roughly charted by an Argentine expedition in 1954-55. It was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956.
As with other names amongst the Pitt Islands, this island is named after character in the Pickwick Papers; after Mr Tracy Tupman Esq., a member of the Pickwick Club.
