Cronk Islands

The Cronk Islands are a group of Antarctic islands lying northeast of Hollin Island, in the Windmill Islands. They were first mapped from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump in 1946 and 1947. They were named by the US-ACAN for Caspar Cronk, glaciologist at Wilkes Station in 1958.
