The Kidd Islands are a small group of islands off the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . In Darbel Bay they are just south of the Darbel Islands .
Aerial photographs were taken during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1960 after the British physicist Dudley Arthur Kidd (1863-1921), who in 1888 carried out the first studies on the deformation of ice crystals.
