Martin Islands (Antarctica)

'''Martin Islands''' ({{coor dm|65|37|S|65|22|W|}}) is a group of islands and rocks 5 nautical miles (9 km) in extent lying 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of the north part of [[Renaud Island]] and 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of [[Vieugue Island]] in [[Grandidier Channel]]. A group of islands to the north of "[[Pitt Island]]" was roughly charted and named Martin Islands for Captain Martin, [[Argentine Navy]], by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]], 1903-05, under Charcot. Aerial surveys have shown that what appeared to be one large [[island]], Pitt, is actually a group of small islands. As they lie in one group with no logical division between them, the earlier name of Pitt was amended to [[Pitt Islands]] and extended to cover all the islands north of Renaud Island. The name Martin Islands was transferred to the group now described in order to preserve Charcot's name in the area.

In association with the names of expedition ships grouped on this [[island]], named after USNS Maumee<i/>, a tanker that made at least 12 Antarctic deployments to the [[Ross Sea]] from 1969-70 to 1984-85. With a 7,000,000 gallon capacity, and increased tank storage at [[McMurdo Station]], Maumee<i/> initiated a program of delivering a whole year's supply of bulk petroleum products to the station in a single trip. Prior to 1969 it took two smaller ships six trips to deliver the same amount of fuel.
