Names that other countries have for this feature:
across entrance of Hidden Bay, Danco Coast. The largest or SE-most island was called by AAE Isla Gato [=cat island] or Islote Morro o Gato [=hill or cat islet] (Argentina. MM chart 106a, 1954; chart Ñ, 1954). The name Islotes Ménier (Ménier Island, q.v.) was also applied in error to the group by AAE (Argentina. MM chart 130, 1957; Pierrou, 1970, p.517). The islands were charted by an RN Hydrographic Survey Unit from John Biscoe, 1956-57, and named Screen Islands because of their position at the mouth of the bay (APC, 1959a, p.11; BA chart 3572, 12.viii.1960).
