The Triple Islands are three small rocky islands lying close east of the tip of Zélée Glacier Tongue and 0.7 kilometres (0.4 nmi) south-southeast of the Double Islands. They were photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and were charted and named by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1949–51.[1]
