'''Radford Island''' (76°54′S 146°36′W) is an [[ice]]-covered island surmounted by several peaks, lying 6 nautical miles (11 km) west of [[Saunders Mountain]] in the east part of [[Marshall Archipelago]].

==Discovery and name==
The island was discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on the Eastern Flight of 5 December 1929. It was further mapped as a part of the mainland by the United States [[Antarctic]] Service during the years 1939–1941. The feature was finally determined to be an island by the U.S. Geological Survey using air photos taken by the [[U.S. Navy]] throughout the years 1962-1965.

Radford Island was named by [[Richard E. Byrd]] in honor of Vice Admiral Arthur W. Radford, U.S. Navy who served as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air) during the 1946-1947 exploration of Antarctica by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump.
