Thomas Island
Thomas Island is a large Antarctic island in the Highjump Archipelago, 6 nautical miles long and from 1 to 3 nautical miles wide. It lies near the center of the main cluster of islands off the north flank of the Bunger Hills.
It was mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Randolph G. Thomas, U.S. Navy, hydrographic officer with U.S. Navy Operation Windmill, 1947–48, who served as surveyor with the astronomical control parties.
