The Balleny Islands from a sketch by John MacNab, a crew member of the ship Eliza Scott that visited the Balleny Islands in 1839. In a description of this sketch in his 1905 history of Antarctic exploration, H.R. Mill drew attention to "smoke rising from an active volcano on Buckle Island". This sketch supports findings suggesting Buckle Island as the source of volcanic cryptotephra layers deposited in Marie Byrd Land in 1839.

The Balleny Islands (66°55′S 163°45′E / 66.917°S 163.750°E / -66.917; 163.750) are a series of uninhabited islands in the Southern Ocean extending from 66°15' to 67°35'S and 162°30' to 165°00'E. The group extends for about 160 km (99 mi) in a northwest–southeast direction. The islands are heavily glaciated and of volcanic origin. Glaciers project from their slopes into the sea. The islands were formed by the so-called Balleny hotspot.
The group includes three main islands: Young, Buckle and Sturge, which lie in a line from northwest to southeast, and several smaller islets and rocks:
