The Laseron Islands are a chain of small ice-capped and rocky islands lying 6 kilometres (3 nmi) east of Cape Denison in Commonwealth Bay, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named them for Charles F. Laseron, taxidermist with the expedition.^[1]
