Moyes Islands is a group of small islands lying in the west part of Watt Bay, 4.6 kilometres (2.5 nmi) southeast of Cape-Pigeon Rocks. Discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named them for Morton H. Moyes who served as meteorologist with the expedition.
