Narrative

Small rocky island 0.7 mi E of Tristan Island and 0.4 mi N of the E point on Cape Jules. Photographed from the air by USN Operation HighJump, 1946-47. Charted by the FrAE under Barre, 1951-52, and so named because of its twin relationship with Tristan Island. Yseult is the French spelling of Isolde, legendary heroine incorporated into Arthurian legend and later popularized by Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde.
