Narrative

El 6 de junio de 1843, la Expedición Británica de James Ross avistó la costa NE de esta isla, dándole el nombre de cabo Seymour. Su naturaleza insular fue determinada por Larsen en 1892-1893. Ubicada a 11 millas al SW de cabo Gage de la isla Ross. Mide 10 millas de largo por 3 de ancho medio. La isla se caracteriza por estar libre de hielos en verano, se compone de dos masas montañosas separadas por una profunda quebrada transversal que la cruza de costa a costa a nivel del mar. Su parte NE es de relieve regular, en cambio la parte SW es más baja y quebrada.
