Edwards Islands (Enderby Land)

The Edwards Islands are a group of islands in the east side of Amundsen Bay, about 5 kilometres (2.5 nmi) southwest of Mount Oldfield in Enderby Land. They were plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for T. Edwards, an assistant diesel mechanic at Wilkes Station in 1960.
