Wisconsin Islands is a group of a dozen or more small rocky islands which lie 2 kilometres (1 nmi) northeast of Largo Island in the northeast part of the Duroch Islands. Named after the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Madison, Wisconsin. The name was applied by Martin Halpern, leader of the University of Wisconsin field party which geologically mapped these islands, 1961-62.
