Cohen Islands

The Cohen Islands are a cluster of small islands between Ponce Island and Pebbly Mudstone Island in the southeast part of the Duroch Islands. The group lies 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) west-southwest of Halpern Point, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Theodore J. Cohen, field assistant with the University of Wisconsin (USARP) party during geological mapping of this area, 1961–62.[1]
