Darbel Islands

Darbel Islands (66°23′S 65°58′W / 66.383°S 65.967°W / -66.383; -65.967) is a group of islands and rocks extending southwest from Cape Bellue for 5 nautical miles (9 km) across the entrance to Darbel Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. Charted in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery II and named Marin Darbel Islands after the bay in which they were found. Both names have since been shortened by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC).
