The '''[[Lindsey Islands]]''' (73°37′S 103°18′W) are a group of islands lying just off the northwest tip of the [[Canisteo Peninsula]] in the [[Amundsen Sea]]. The island group is the emergent part of a shelf that is less than 200 meters deep, and is formed of granitic rocks. The islands are relatively flat, the highest point being about 40 meters on the largest island. The islands are mostly ice free in summer, and two small freshwater ponds are present on the largest island.
