473:. An island 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) long lying at the northeast end of Nansen Island in Wilhelmina Bay. This island and Nansen Island were first charted as one feature and named "Ile Nansen" by the BelgAE under Gerlache in 1898. The islands became well known to whalers operating in the area in the early 1900's and the names North and South Nansen Islands were used to distinguish them. Since Nansen Island has now become established for the larger feature, a new name has been given to the smaller by the UK-APC, commemorating the enterprise of the whalers who made the anchorage at the south side of the island (Foyn Harbor) a major center of summer industry during the period 1916-30.

549:. An island 0.2 nautical miles (0.37 km; 0.23 mi) long, the largest of a group of small islands off the east side of Enterprise Island.

904:. An island 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) long, lying 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) northeast of Emma Island in the north-central portion of Wilhelmina Bay. Discovered by the BelgAE, 1897-99, under Gerlache, and named by him for J. Delaite, a supporter of the expedition.
427:. A small island lying midway between Nansen and Enterprise Islands in Wilhelmina Bay. The name Bearing or Direction Island was used for this feature by whalers in the area because the island and a rock patch on Nansen Island were used as leading marks when entering Foyn Harbor from the southeast.
736:. An island 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km; 2.9 mi) long, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) south of Nansen Island in the east part of Wilhelmina Bay. Discovered by the BelgAE under Gerlache, 1897-99, and named after the home of Doctor

511:. A small harbor indenting the east side of Enterprise Island just west of Pythia Island in Wilhelmina Bay. The name was applied by whalers using the harbor because the whaling vessel Gouvern0ren I was wrecked there in 1916.
