Mackellar Islands


The Mackellar Islands, also MacKellar Islets, are a group of about 30 small islands and rocks lying north of Cape Denison in the center of Commonwealth Bay, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Douglas Mawson, who named them for C.D. Mackellar of London, a patron of the expedition. The largest is Greater Mackellar Island.
