Van Hulssen Islands (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a group of about ten small islands, of which Van Hulssen Island is the largest, lying 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north of Pila Island in Holme Bay. The islands were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and included as part of a group called "Ytterskjera." They were remapped by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions), 1954–62, and named after the largest island in the group.
