The Governor Islands (sometimes referred to as the Governor Islets) consist of two small, closely spaced islands — East Governor (with an area of 43 ha) and West Governor — located at the northeastern entrance of Napier Broome Bay (at bottom-left). The islands lie at the centre of the image, with West Governor (the largest of the pair at 3.2 km²) being on the left.
At the top-left of the image (emerging from beneath the clouds) are the Sir Graham Moore Islands that guard the western entrances in to the bay.
