The Blair Islands are a group of small islands lying 7 km (4 nmi) west of Cape Gray, at the east side of the entrance to Commonwealth Bay, George V Land, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named the group for John H. Blair, Chief Officer on the Aurora.[1]
