Chandler Island is an island 7 kilometres (4 nmi) long which is the southernmost of the ice-covered White Islands, located at the head of Sulzberger Bay. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Alan Chandler, electrical engineer with the Byrd Station winter party in 1969.[1]
