A low island, one of a group of ten small islands, about 9 km north-west of Mawson. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). The island was included in a triangulation survey carried out by Robert Dovers, officer-in-charge at Mawson in 1954. In 1955, an ANARE party landed there and established an automatic meteorological station.
