Small rocky island off the N coast of Charcot Island, 1 mi N of Mount Martine. First seen and photographed from the air in 1929 by Sir Hubert Wilkins, who roughly positioned it. Remapped from air photos taken by the USN Operation HighJump, 1946-47, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960. The name was suggested by the US-ACAN in 1950 for S.A. Cheesman, pilot on Wilkins' 1929 flight.
