Trivial Islands

Trivial Islands (65°31′S 65°13′W) is a group of small islands lying 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) east of Lacuna Island and 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of Vieugue Island, in the Biscoe Islands. Mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956–57. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because these islands are small, dull and uninteresting.
