The Balleny Islands are uninhabited, mainly volcanic, islands in the Southern Ocean stretching from 66°15' to 67°35'S and 162°30' to 165°00'E. The group forms a 115 miles long chain in a northwest-southeast direction. The islands are heavily glaciated and are of volcanic origin. The islands were formed by the Balleny hotspot.
The group contains three main islands: Young, Buckle and Sturge, which lie in a line from northwest to southeast, and several smaller islets and rocks.
