'''Griffith Island''' is a small [[Antarctic]] island at the south entrance to [[Robertson Channel]] in the [[Windmill Islands]]. It was first mapped from air photos taken by USN [[Operation Highjump]] and [[Operation Windmill]] in 1947 and 1948. It was named by the [[US-ACAN]] for Chief Fire Patrolman Russell B. Griffith, USN, a member of the [[Wilkes Station]] party of 1958.
