Narrative

Small island in Marguerite Bay, lying close NE of Courtier Islands in the Dion Islands. The islands in this group were discovered and roughly charted in 1909 by the FrAE. This island was surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS and so named by the UK-APC because a low rock and shingle isthmus at the SE end of the island is the winter breeding site of emperor penguins.
