The Harvey Islands are a pair of small islands on the western side of Freeth Bay in Enderby Land, East Antarctica. They lie at coordinates approximately 67° 43' S, 45° 33' E, and were first mapped from aerial photographs captured by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956.[1]
The islands were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after Ross Harvey, a radio officer at Wilkes Station in 1959. They are listed in the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.[1][2]
