The physics involved in the appearance of islands caused by resonant pressure driven currents in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibria is described. Estimates of island widths are obtained by an expansion in β, with an auxiliary expansion about the magnetic axis. The theory is applied to Princeton’s heliac reference design.
