564:. An arc-shaped island, 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) long and 360 metres (1,180 ft) high high, lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) northeast of Eagle Island in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel. Probably first seen in 1902-03 by members of the SwedAE under Nordenskjold. The FIDS surveyed Beak Island in 1945 and so named it because of its shape and relative position to nearby Tail and Eagle Islands.

602:. A circular island 1.25 nautical miles (2.32 km; 1.44 mi) in diameter and 130 metres (430 ft) high high, lying midway between Egg Island and Eagle Island in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel. Islands in this area were first seen by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the SwedAE, 1901-04. Tail Island was charted by the FIDS in 1945, and so named by them because of its relative position to Eagle and Beak Islands.
640:. A circular island 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) in diameter and 310 metres (1,020 ft) high, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) west of Tail Island in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel. Probably first seen by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the SwedAE, 1901-04. It was charted in 1945 by the FIDS, who so named it because of its relative position to Tail, Eagle and Beak Islands.

420:. A conspicuous, flat-topped peak with talus-covered slopes, 560 metres (1,840 ft) high, standing at the northeast end of Eagle Island in Prince Gustav Channel. Discovered by the FIDS and so named following their 1945 survey. The name is descriptive of the slopes of the peak.
686:. In 1945, the FIDS charted an archipelago in this area. The present application of this name is in accord with the FIDS "that the name of Corry should be perpetuated on the most conspicuous of these islands as seen from eastward (the direction from which it was seen by Ross)".
678:. An island 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) long and 510 metres (1,670 ft) high high, lying off the south coast of Trinity Peninsula between Vega Island and Eagle Island. This is believed to be the feature sighted by a British expedition under
