Barcroft Islands 巴克罗夫特群岛
The Barcroft Islands (66°27′S 67°10′W / 66.450°S 67.167°W / -66.450; -67.167) are a group of small islands and rocks about 5 miles (8 km) in extent, lying close south of Watkins Island, Biscoe Islands. They were mapped from air photos by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57), and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Sir Joseph Barcroft, a pioneer investigator of the physiological effects of high altitudes and cold.
