Operation Windmill which obtained aerial and ground photographic coverage of the Windmill Islands in January 1948.
Dieglman Island is an island about 7 kilometres (4 nmi) long that is largely ice covered but has numerous rock outcrops, lying on the northwest side of Edisto Channel in the Highjump Archipelago. First mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named the "Dieglman Islets", subsequent Soviet expeditions (1956–57) mapped the feature as one island with numerous outcrops. The name has been altered by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) to apply to the single island. Named by US-ACAN for E.D. Dieglman, an air crewman on U.S. Navy Operation Highjump photographic flights in this area in 1946–47.
Gouverneur Island is a low rocky island 2.2 kilometres (1.2 nmi) west-southwest of Petrel Island and 4.4 kilometres (2.4 nmi) east of Cape Géodésie in the southern part of the Géologie Archipelago, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was charted and named by the French Antarctic Expedition under André F. Liotard, 1949–51. Liotard was the first man to encamp on the island and, as leader of the Expedition, also held the honorary post of governor.
Edisto Channel is a marine channel, whose south end is filled by Edisto Ice Tongue. It extends in a northeast–southwest direction between the Taylor Islands and the northwestern islands of the Highjump Archipelago on the west, and the Bunger Hills, Thomas Island, and the remaining islands in the Highjump Archipelago on the east. It was delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the USS Edisto, one of the two icebreakers of Operation Windmill, 1947–48, which assisted in establishing astronomical control stations along Wilhelm II Coast, Queen Mary Coast, Knox Coast and Budd Coast.
The Fram Islands are a small group of rocky islands and rocks in the western portion of the Geologie Archipelago, 4 kilometres (2 nmi) north-northwest of Cape Geodesie.

Gossard Channel is a narrow channel extending in an east–west direction between the Mariner Islands and Booth Peninsula in the central portion of the Highjump Archipelago, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for G.C. Gossard, Jr., an air crewman on Operation Highjump photographic flights in this area and other coastal areas between 14°E and 164°E.
Mitchell Peninsula is a rocky peninsula, 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, lying between O'Brien Bay and Sparkes Bay at the east side of the Windmill Islands, Antarctica. It was first mapped from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in February 1947 and thought to be an island connected by a steep snow ramp to the continental ice overlying Budd Coast, though the term peninsula was considered more appropriate by the Wilkes Station party of 1957. Mitchell Peninsula was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Captain Ray A. Mitchell, U.S. Navy, captain of the USS Cacapon, a tanker of the western task group of Operation Highjump, Task Force 68 of 1946–47.
Marret Glacier is a channel glacier about 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide and 4 nautical miles long, flowing northeast from the continental ice of Antarctica to the coast close east of Cape Robert. It was delineated from aerial photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Mario Marret, the leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1952–53, whose party extended reconnaissance of the coastal features to the west side of Victor Bay.
Cape Henderson is an ice-free cape, overlain by morainic drift, marking the northwest end of the Bunger Hills in Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in February 1947, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the USS Henderson (DD-785), the destroyer escort of the western task group of Operation Highjump, Task Force 68, 1946–47.
Manchot Island is a rocky island lying in the entrance to Port Martin, Antarctica. It is 0.4 kilometres (0.2 nmi) west of Bizeux Rock and 0.4 kilometres (0.2 nmi) north of Cape Margerie. The island was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1949–51. It was so named by the French expedition because a large Adélie penguin rookery was located on the island, and "manchot" is a French word for penguin.
