386:. The largest and southeasternmost of the Terra Firma Islands, with steep rocky cliffs surmounted by a rock and snow cone rising to 320 metres (1,050 ft) high. So named by the FIDS, following a 1948 resurvey, for its resemblance to some form of confection served with ice cream on it.
252:. They are northwest of Cape Berteaux, the southern end of the bay's mouth. Alamode Island is the largest of the group, in the southeast. Other islands and rocks, from west to east, include Dumbell Island, Barn Rock, Lodge Rock, Pigmy Rock, Hayrick Island and Twig Rock.
586:. A small prominent rock mass, more than 150 metres (490 ft) high high, between Lodge Rock and Twig Rock. This island was surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS and so named by them because, when seen from the E, its high mass has an appearance suggesting a hayrick.
624:. A small rocky mass, more than 90 metres (300 ft) high high, between Alamode Island and Hayrick Island. Twig Rock was surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS, who so named it because of the branching nature of the dike system exposed on its north face.

in 1936. The name "Terra Firma Island" was applied to the largest island (Alamode Island), because a BGLE depot-laying party camped there following the break-up of sea ice, but the name Terra Firma
Islands was later applied to the whole group.

462:. A prominent rock, more than 90 metres (300 ft) high, near the north end of the Terra Firma Islands. Resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS who so named the rock because of its appearance when seen from the west.
542:. A rock lying close off the southwest side of Alamode Island at the south extremity of the Terra Firma Islands. This rock was surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS, who so named it because of its size.
424:. A low rocky island lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) west of Alamode Island. The island was surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS, who so named it because of its shape.
