Description (see definition): A group of small islands lying 0.5 mi S of Kamelen Island in the N part of the Stanton Group. These small islands were mapped from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and later by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). They were visited in 1969 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) dog-sledge party to the Taylor Glacier area. Named by ANCA for Dr. J. Hogg, medical officer at Mawson Station in 1969. The central island in the group affords the best camp site in the area.
