Exploration and naming
The Lyall Islands were discovered by Captain James Clark Ross, 1841, who named the group for David Lyall (1817–1895), MD, RN, FLS, Assistant Surgeon on the Terror. In keeping with this, the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) has named some of the individual islands and nearby features for surgeons who have worked in Antarctica.Template:Sfn
Location
The Lyall Islands are in the Pacific Ocean to the north of Tapsell Foreland and east of Yule Bay and the Davis Ice Piedmont. From west to east they are Unger Island, Surgeon Island, Novosad Island and Hughes Island.Template:Sfn
