The Brownson Islands are a group of about 20 small islands which lie just outside the entrance to Cranton Bay, about 14 nautical miles (26 km) southwest of the southwest tip of the Canisteo Peninsula. They comprises four main islands surrounded by manysmaller islets and rocks, and are largely ice-free in summer. They were delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the USS Brownson, a vessel of the eastern task group of this expedition.

  • Die Brownson-Inseln sind eine Gruppe von rund 20 Inseln vor der Walgreen-Küste des westantarktischen Ellsworthlands. Sie liegen etwa 22 km südwestlich der Südwestspitze der Canisteo-Halbinsel unmittelbar vor der Einfahrt zur Cranton Bay. Kartiert wurden die Inseln anhand von Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Operation Highjump (1946–1947) vom Dezember 1946. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte sie 1955 nach der USS Brownson, einem bei der Operation Highjump eingesetzten Zerstörer. (de)
