Description (see definition): Group of small islands lying NE of The Barchans and 0.5 mi NW of Grotto Island, in the Argentine Islands, Wilhelm Archipelago. Charted and named Horseshoe Islands by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. The name was changed by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 to avoid confusion with Horseshoe Island in Marguerite Bay. This new name arises from association with the old name and with nearby Anvil Rock.
