Narrative

Descubierta por la Expedición Francesa, de los años 1837-1840, que lideró el capitán Jules Sebastián César Dumont D'Urville, quien la denominó por el vicealmirante Claude de Rosamel, ministro de Marina Francés a cuyas órdenes zarpó la expedición. Está situada al SW de isla Dundee, de la que la separa un canalizo de 3 millas de ancho. Mide 9 cables de extensión y se levanta a 433 metros de altura. Su cima es un cono muy extendido, cubierto de nieve; la isla se alza desde el mar en paredes acantiladas de piedra desnuda de origen volcánico.
