Morgan Island is a small island while also being the largest feature in a group of islands located 1 nautical mile (2 km) east of Cape Bidlingmaier , off the north side of Heard Island in the Indian Ocean . The island group was charted as extending across "Morgan Bay" on an 1860 sketch map compiled by Captain H.C. Chester , an American sealer, and "Morgan Islands" appears on the 1874 chart and the scientific reports of a British expedition under George Nares in HMS Challenger . Morgan Island was surveyed in 1948 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions , who restricted the name Morgan as the largest feature in the group.

4-763: Is a small, dark rock lying immediately northwest of Morgan Island and 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) north of Heard Island . The feature appears to be roughly shown on an 1860 sketch map prepared by Captain H.C. Chester , American sealer operating in this area during this period. The name, which is descriptive, appears to have been applied on charts about 1932, probably as a result of the 1929 British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) work under Mawson.
