Narrative

SW end of Gerlache Strait, Danco Coast, on N side of Ménier Island (q.v.), was called Isla Sucia [=foul island] by AAE because of the navigational dangers near the island (Argentina. MM chart 106a, 1954; Pierrou, 1970, p.674); following survey by an RN Hydrographic Survey Unit from HMS Protector in December 1956, named Littlespace Island in reference to the difficulty of finding a small area of snow-free rock for a triangulation station (APC, 1959a, p.8; BA chart 3572, 12.viii.1960). Sucia Island (USBGN, 1965, p.106; USOO chart 6692, 1967).
