Austral Island ( 66°30′S, 110°39′E) is a small Antarctic island in the extreme southern lobe of Penney Bay, in the Windmill Islands. The island appears in air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), but was not charted on subsequent maps. So named by US-ACAN because it is the southernmost of the Windmill Islands.
