Narrative

La existencia de esta isla fue cuestionada por los EE.UU. de N.A. sobre la base de levantamientos anteriores a 1956, que indicaron que este accidente podría ser una montaña parte de la península Tierra de O'Higgins. Consecuentemente, la denominan Mount Banck. En las cartas chilenas desde 1951 hasta 1957 figuró como isla Bank. Isla que está constituida por una montaña cónica de aproximadamente 320 metros de elevación, que se ubica en la entrada al canal Lautaro, a 6 cables al SSW de punta Rudolphy, que es el extremo SW de la isla Bryde, frente a bahía Paraíso, costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
