The Tyulen'i Islands ( Russian Острова Тюлени Ostrowa Tjuleni , German ' Hundsrobbeninseln ' ; in Australia Tjulen Islands ) are a group of three very small islands lined up in an east-west orientation off the coast of the East Antarctic Queen Marie Land . In the southern part of the Haswell Islands they are 1.5 km off the Antarctic mainland and 1.9 km west of Mabus Point and immediately west of the Stroiteley Islands .
The American cartographer Gardner Dean Blodgett (* 1925) mapped it in 1955 using aerial photographs of Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Soviet scientists took more aerial photos in 1956 and made the naming. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred this designation in 1968 in a partial translation into English.
