Narrative

Group of rocky coastal islands lying off Mabus Point and extending about 1.5 mi seaward. Charted by the AAE under Mawson (1911-14), who applied the name Rookery Islands because of a large emperor penguin rookery on Haswell Island, the largest and seaward island in the group. ANCA proposed in 1955 that the name Haswell be extended to the entire group.
