The Lindsey Islands 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. | The Lindsey Islands are situated west of the northern extremity of [[Canisteo Peninsula]], which projects into the eastern Amundsen Sea between [[Ferrero Bay|Ferrero]] and [[Cranton Bay]]s on the [[Walgreen Coast]].

Some descriptions (e.g. Lindsey 1995) include the island group 5 kilometers to the southwest as within the Lindsey group. However, these were later named the [[Schaefer Islands]] by the U.S. Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names. Available mapping incorrectly shows many of the individual islands within the group as merged together. | Some descriptions (e.g. Lindsey 1995) include the island group 5 kilometers to the southwest as within the Lindsey group.
