Narrative

Small island on the S side of the entrance to Iquique Cove, Discovery Bay, Greenwich Island, in the South Shetland Islands. On its W side this island is linked to a smaller island by a spit which is covered only at high tides. The island was charted by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition of 1947, commanded by Capitan de Navio Federico Guesalaga Toro, which named it after Ernesto Gonzalez Navarrete, captain of the ship Iquique on the expedition.
