A group of about six islands, about 2 km from the continental ice cliffs of Enderby Land. The largest of the islands is 0.5 km across. These islands were possibly the site of the landing from an aircraft by Riiser-Larsen on 22 December, 1929. An ANARE party landed on them on 14 February, 1958, and obtained an astrofix. Named after the wife of Robert H.J. Thompson, Administrative Officer of the Antarctic Division, Melbourne, and second-in-command of the expedition.
