Minamo Island ( Japanese み な も 島 Minamo-jima , German 'water surface island ' ) is an island off the Prince Harald coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is the largest of a group of islands that lie in the narrow inlet between the Skallen group of hills and the Skallebreen .
Aerial photographs and measurements of a Japanese Antarctic expedition, which lasted from 1957 to 1962, were used to map them. The Japanese name from 1972 transferred the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1975 in a partial translation into English.
