Trevillian Island

Trevillian Island is a small, oval, and hump-shaped island off the Mawson Coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . In Holme Bay it is 1.5 km south of the island of Nøstet .

Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 and named it descriptively as Rundøy (Norwegian for Round Island ). The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it in 1960 after the Australian cartographer T. Trevillian, who was responsible for creating maps for the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions for several years .
