The Nøkkelholmane Islands are a scattered group of about 24 islands and rocks lying just off the west side of Skarvsnes Foreland in the east part of Lutzow-Holm Bay. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Nøkkelholmane (the key island).[1]
The largest island in the group is Nøkkel Island.[2]
