The East Melchior Islands (64°19′S 62°55′W / 64.317°S 62.917°W / -64.317; -62.917) are a group of small ice-covered islands and rocks which lie east of The Sound in the Melchior Islands, Palmer Archipelago. The islands west of The Sound are called the West Melchior Islands. The name was probably given by Discovery Investigations personnel who roughly charted these islands in 1927. The islands were surveyed by Argentine expeditions in 1942, 1943 and 1948.[1]
