The McGary Islands are a cluster of islands, islets and rocks at the southern end of Peabody Bay about 6 km off Cape Agassiz. They are all small islands located close to the shore 15 km to the NE of the Bonsall Islands and off the southern end of the Humboldt Glacier.[2][3]
The islands are named after James McGary of the Second Grinnell Expedition.[4] They are a breeding ground for the common eider.
