Narrative

rising to c. 30m above sea level off N coast of Joinville Island near NE entrance of Larsen Channel, was roughly charted by AAE, 1946-47, and called Islote Gaviotín [=tern islet] (Argentina. MM, 1956, p.116); following survey by FIDS from "Hope Bay", 1958-61, named Gull Rock, derived in error from the Spanish word gavióta [=gull] (APC, 1964, p.3; BAS 250P sheet SP 21-22/14 (Ext.), 1-DOS 1973). Gaviotín Rock (USBGN, 1965, p.97). Islotes [sic] Gaviotín (Pierrou, 1970, p.386).
