Name ID: 105176 Place ID: 1176

Estos islotes no fueron cartografiados por el Dr. Jean B. Charcot y, por lo tanto, no figuran en el plano original. La BGLE de 1934-1937, al mando de John Rymill, los avistó desde el aire en febrero de 1937 e hizo un croquis de ellos, pero no les dio nombre. La Expedición Antártica Chilena de 1947 les dio nombre a los cuatro islotes más grandes del grupo, de N a S: isla Guacolda, isla Quidora, isla Fresia e isla Runcumilla, nombres mapuches de algunos submarinos de la Armada de Chile. Islotes Bennett, fue denominado en 1954, por el Comité Británico para los Nombres Antárticos y corresponde al apellido de Arthur G. Bennett, representante ballenero británico en las islas Shetland del Sur y en las islas Orcadas del Sur durante muchos años entre 1913 y 1927 y naturalista de gobierno suplente en las islas Falkland, 1924-1938. Es un grupo de cinco islotes, situados en el lado W de la bahía Hanusse y al SW de la isla Liard, entre la isla Adelaida y la costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
