Weddell Islands (60°39′S 44°51′W) is a group of small islands and rocks lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Saddle Island and 4 5 nautical miles (9 km) north of the west end of Laurie Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Probably seen on the occasion of a joint cruise by Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer and Captain George Powell in December 1821. The name first appears on James Weddell's chart resulting from his exploration of the South Orkney Islands in 1823.
