Debenham Islands

The Debenham Islands are a group of small islands and rocks within Marguerite Bay along the west coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. These islands lie between Millerand Island and the mainland of Graham Land's Fallières Coast.

The Debenham Islands were discovered and named by the British Graham Land Expedition of 1934–37 under John Riddoch Rymill; the Expedition base was on Barry Island in the centre of the group, during part of this time.

The island group was named for Frank Debenham, who served as a member of the British Graham Land Expedition Advisory Committee. The main islands are named after his children:

• Ann Island
• Audrey Island
• Barbara Island
• Barry Island
• Brian Island
• June Island

An Argentinian base ('San Martín') is located on Barry Island.
