Narrative

Al examinar fotos aéreas de esta isla tomadas del Servicio Antártico de los Estados Unidos de 1939-1941 se deduce que puede estar conectada, por una masa de tierra baja y cubierta de hielo, por su lado E a una cadena montañosa haciendo esta isla mucho mayor de 10 millas como se había representado anteriormente. Isla situada al W del extremo N de la isla Alejandro I a la entrada N al estrecho Wilkins.
