Adolph Islands

The Adolph Islands lie off the north-west coast of Watkins Island, in the Biscoe Islands off the Loubet Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

These islands were photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57. They are named in association with the names of pioneers of cold climate physiology grouped in the area, after Edward Frederick Adolph (b. 1895), an American physiologist specializing in the reactions of the human body to cold; Professor of Physiology, University of Rochester from 1948 to 1960.
