Gull Island is a small island located at 70.365745°N 148.366098°WCoordinates: 70.365745°N 148.366098°W, 8 km (5 miles) off shore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in the Beaufort Sea. In plan view it is shaped somewhat like the capital letter "L", with a length of approximately 300 m, and is about 30 m wide along much of its length.

 In some satellite images it appears like a small crescent, due to its low topographic prominence above sea level.

 Little more than a gravel pad, it is a roosting place for seagulls in the summertime. 

It was also the site of petroleum exploration as part of the larger Prudhoe Bay Oil Field exploration in the 1960s and 1970s.
