The Brownson Islands (74°10′S 103°36′W / 74.167°S 103.600°W / -74.167; -103.600) are a group of about 20 small islands which lie just outside the entrance to Cranton Bay, about 14 nautical miles (26 km) southwest of the southwest tip of the Canisteo Peninsula. They were delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the USS Brownson, a vessel of the eastern task group of this expedition.[1]
