Pollholmen (69°1′S 39°36′E) is an island, 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) long, situated 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) off the southeast side of East Ongul Island, in the east side of the entrance of Lutzow-Holm Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Pollholmen (the bay island), presumably because of its location opposite the narrow inlet or bay separating Ongul and East Ongul Islands.
