Afuera Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Afuera Islands () is a group of three small islands lying north of Challenger Island and just outside the south entrance point to Hughes Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. First charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, under Charcot. The name, which appears on an Argentine government chart of 1957, is probably descriptive of the islands' location; "Afuera" means outer or outside.
