Trigwell Island is an island in Prydz Bay on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elisabeth Land in East Antarctica . In the Vestfold Mountains it is located immediately west of Flutter Island and 1.5 km west of the Breidnes Peninsula .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Scientists from a 1957 to 1958 campaign as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions re-mapped and gave the island its name. It is named after Elliott Sydney Trigwell (* 1918), head of radio communications on Davis Station in 1958.
