Heckmann Island
Heckmann Island is the largest island in the eastern part of the Thorfinn Islands, lying north of Byrd Head, Mac. [Robertson Land], Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars [Christensen Expedition], 1936–37. It was remapped by the Australian [National Antarctic Research Expeditions] and named by the Antarctic [Names Committee of Australia] for B. Heckmann, chief officer on the Nella Dan in 1965.
