Group of 4 small islands lying 1 mi NW of Parallactic Islands in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. So named by ANCA because the largest island in the group was included in a triangulation survey by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1959.
