The '''Brockhamp Islands''' are two small islands in [[Laubeuf Fjord]], lying {{convert|3|nmi|km|0|disp=flip}} southwest of [[Mothes Point]], [[Adelaide Island]]. They were mapped by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) from [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] air photos, 1947–48, and FIDS surveys, 1948–50. They were named by the [[UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] for [[Bernhard Brockhamp]], a German glaciologist who, with [[H. Mothes]], made the first seismic soundings of a glacier, in Austria in 1926.<ref name=gnis/>
