The Symington Islands lie between the Pitt Islands and the Grandidier Channel separating the latter from the Graham Coast of Graham Land, in the British Antarctic Territory. They form an outer part of the Biscoe Islands.
These islands were roughly charted by an Argentine project from air photographs in 1956, though the applied the name Islotes Buen Tiempo ('good weather islets' to non-existent islands to the north of these islands. The actual islnds were photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition of 1956-57, and named after John Donald Lewis Symington (b. 1920), senior air photographer with the expedition.
