Narrative

A group of small islands in the northern part of the Stanton Group, off the coast of Mac.Robertson Land, about 1 km south of Kamelen Island and about 5 km north-west of Oldham Island. The central island in the group affords the best camp site in the area. The group was mapped and named by BANZARE under Mawson in February, 1931. Mapped from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936) and ANARE. Visited in 1969 by an ANARE dog-sledge party visiting Taylor Rookery. Named after Dr. J. Hogg, medical officer at Mawson in 1969.
