Bennett Islands

Bennett Islands

Bennett Islands (coord|66|56|S|67|40|W|) is a group of islands at the southwest side of Liard Island in Hanusse Bay, extending in a southwest direction for 6 miles (10 km) off the west coast of Graham Land. The islands were sighted and sketched from the air in February 1937 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. They were named in 1954 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Arthur G. Bennett, British representative on whaling in the South Shetland Islands and South Orkney Islands for many years between 1913 and 1927, and acting government naturalist in the Falkland Islands, 1924-38.
