The Hatch Islands are a small group of rocky islands lying 5.6 kilometres (3 nmi) east of Ivanoff Head at the head of Vincennes Bay of Wilkes Land, Antarctica.[1] The islands mark the division between Knox Coast and Budd Coast. They were named after Ernest B. Hatch, a tractor driver on Operation Windmill.[2]
