- Martin Island (Antarctica)
-
Martin Island is a small island in the north part of Edward VIII Bay, just off the south shore of Edward VIII Plateau. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and called Utvikgalten (the outer bay boar). Remapped by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions), the island was renamed by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) in 1958 for A.R. Martin, officer in charge of the ANARE party at Macquarie Island in 1948.
