Narrative

Fueron cartografiadas en 1935 por la Expedición Antártica Británica de 1934-1937, al mando de John Rymill, quien le dio este nombre, seguramente porque la costa N de ambas islas forma una esquina (Corner) o ángulo de unos 60 grados. En una publicación chilena de 1962 figuró como isla Corner, sólo la más occidental de ambas. Dos islas pequeñas, apenas separadas por una angostura de 10 metros, ubicadas entre isla Galindez e isla Uruguay, en las islas Argentine, frente a la costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
