This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
Named after the planet because of the relative remoteness of this island from the rest of the Rauer Group and the difficulties encountered in visiting it. Flown over by helicopter and photographed for its geology in 1983.
