Douglas Islands
The Douglas Islands are two small islands northwest of Cape Daly, and north of Andersen Island, as well as north-east of Child Rocks, which are both part of the Robinson Group.. They were discovered by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, 1929–31, and named for Vice-Admiral Percy Douglas, then Hydrographer of the Royal Navy. The islands were first sighted during an aircraft flight from the Discovery on Dec. 3 1, 1929, and reported to lie in about, but after the 1931 voyage they were placed at. In 1956, an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions sledge party led by P.W. Crohn was unable to find them in this position, but found two uncharted islands farther south to which the name has now been applied.
