Fueron descubiertos por la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1903-1905, al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, quien le dio el nombre por el apellido del contraalmirante Onofre Betbeder, ministro de Marina argentino. En algunas cartas chilenas de 1947, estos islotes figuraron como islas Betbeder y como isla Tucapel. Es un grupo compuesto de dos islotes principales, rodeado de otros menores y rocas, que emergen a 23 millas al W del cabo Tuxen de la costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
