The Ross Archipelago is a group of Antarctic islands that, together with the ice shelf between them, forms the eastern and southern boundary of McMurdo Sound. Arranged from north to south, the group comprises Beaufort Island, Ross Island, the Dellbridge Islands, Black Island and White Island, with Brown Peninsula historically counted among them in a 1923 geographical report by Frank Debenham. The islands sit within one of the most significant coastal regions of Antarctica, and the archipelago has no permanent population, administered under the Antarctic Treaty System.
