Boree Islands

The Boree Islands (67°41′S 45°20′E) are two small islands 4 kilometres (2 nmi) west of Point Widdows, Enderby Land. They were plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after "boree", a vernacular name for some species of acacia found in Australia.[1]
