The '''Edwards Islands''' (75.53S, 103.08W) are about 20 small islands, mostly ice free in summer, lying off the south-western tip of the [[Canisteo Peninsula]], which projects into the eastern [[Amundsen Sea]] between [[Cranton Bay|Cranton]] and [[Ferrero Bay]]s, on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]]. They were plotted from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 in January 1960, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Z. T. Edwards, chief quartermaster on the ''USS Glacier'' during the U.S. Navy [[Bellingshausen Sea]] Expedition to this area in February 1960. | The '''Edwards Islands''' (75.53S, 103.08W) are about 20 small islands, mostly ice free in summer, lying off the south-western tip of the [[Canisteo Peninsula]], which projects into the eastern [[Amundsen Sea]] between [[Cranton Bay|Cranton]] and [[Ferrero Bay]]s, on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]].
