The Buffon Islands are a group of three adjoining, rocky islands, together about 0.5 kilometres (0.25 nmi) in extent, lying 0.2 kilometres (0.1 nmi) east of Petrel Island in the Geologie Archipelago. They were charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for Georges Buffon, a noted French naturalist.
