Azimuth Islands
# Azimuth Islands

Azimuth Islands are a group of 4 small islands lying 1.9 km (1 nmi) northwest of the Parallactic Islands in Holme Bay, Antarctica. They share their name with the largest island in the group, Azimuth Island (67°32′S 62°44′E﻿ / ﻿67.533°S 62.733°E﻿ / -67.533; 62.733﻿ (Azimuth Island)). Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. So named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) because the largest island in the group was included in a triangulation survey by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1959.
