This feature was photographed by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37), but was plotted on the subsequent maps as a peninsula. It was first shown to be an island by John Roscoe's 1952 study of aerial photographs of the area taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). The area was photographed by ANARE (1954-58) and the SovAE (1956), the latter applying the name Ostrov Soldat (soldier island).
