between Matthews Island and Skilling Island, Robertson Islands (q.v.), off Coronation Island. The group of three small islands immediately S of Matthews Island were charted by Sørlle, 1912-13, and called descriptively Bratholm (Sørlle, chart, 1912; BA, 1930, p.52), later corrected to Brattholmene [=steep islets] (Sørlle, chart, [1930]). Following survey by FIDS from Signy, 1948-49, the S-most and largest of the three islands was named Steepholm (APC, 1955, p.20; DOS 510 South Orkney Island, West Sheet, 1963).
