Matthews Island

Matthews Island (60°45′S 45°9′W / 60.75°S 45.15°W / -60.75; -45.15) is the largest of the Robertson Islands in the South Orkney Islands. It lies immediately southeast of Coronation Island, from which it is narrowly separated by The Divide. Mapped as part of Coronation Island until January 1957 when a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) party established its insularity. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 for Drummond H. Matthews, FIDS geologist at Signy Island in 1956.
