Names that other countries have for this feature:
A group of rocky islands and rocks lying off the coast of Queen Mary Land, just east of McDonald Bay, extending 4 km out to sea. Discovered by the Western Base Party of AAE (1911-14). Sir Douglas Mawson called these islands the Rookery Islands because of a large Emperor penguin colony near Haswell Island, the largest of the group. The name Haswell has been applied to the whole group because of the recognition gained by the Haswell Island name.
