Description
(see definition):
Chain of nunataks trending WNW from Robertson Island and protruding above Larsen Ice Shelf, off the E coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Discovered and named Seal Islands in December 1893 by a Norwegian whaling expedition under C.A. Larsen, who also named several individual features in the group. They were surveyed in 1902 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (SwedAE) under Nordenskjold, who determined them to be nunataks, and by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947.
