Low ice-covered island, 35 mi long and more than 10 mi wide, lying 45 mi S of Charcot Island and W of Alexander Island. An ice-covered feature in this approximate position was seen from the air and described by Sir Hubert Wilkins in 1929, but not recognized as an island or separately mapped. The island was first photographed from the air by the RARE, 1947-48, and mapped from these photos by Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Named by the UK-APC for William R. Latady, aerial photographer and navigator on the RARE flight.
