The ''' | The '''Lindsey Islands''' are a group of islands lying just off the northwest tip of the [[Canisteo Peninsula]] in the [[Amundsen Sea]]. They are situated west of the northern extremity of [[Canisteo Peninsula]], which projects into the eastern Amundsen Sea between Ferrero and [[Cranton Bay]]s on the [[Walgreen Coast]]. The island group consists of one large island that is several kilometers wide, and a smaller island to its west with several nearby outliers further west. The total land area of the collective islands is approximately 2,100 acres. | ||
Due to the extensive ice-free areas on the islands as well as the [[Adélie penguin]] colonies, the algae ''[[Prasiola crispa]]'' has successfully established a foothold. From November - March, the blooming algae blankets portions of the islands in a spectacular green carpet in stark contrast to the otherwise bleak surroundings.
