Brockhamp Islands
The Brockhamp Islands and two islands which lie at northern end of Laubeuf Fjord, tucked close in to the east coast of Adelaide Island between it and the Loubet Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The 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 glaciologists grouped in this area; the Brockhamp Islands after Bernhard Brockhamp (1902-68), the German glaciologist and Professor of Geophysics at the University of Münster, who with H. Mothes (from whom Mothes Point is named) made the first seismic soundings of a glacier, which was in Austria in 1926. He was also a member of German Greenland Expedition of1930-31.
