rising to c. 1350m S of Cape Brown (q.v.), NE Alexander Island, was seen from a distance by FAE, 1908-10, in January 1909 and roughly mapped as an island separated by a channel from the main island; named Iñle Nicolas II after Nicholas II (1868-1918), Tsar of Russia, 1895 1917 (Charcot, 1912, Pl.1 and 2; Bongrain, 1914, vues 39 and 42 following p.60).
