Avistadas por primera vez desde el aire y fotografiadas en 1936 por la BGLE de 1934-1937, al mando de John Rymill, y luego cartografiadas desde los mismos fotogramas. Las islas fueron observadas en 1947 desde la nave "Port of Beaumont", Texas por el RARE, al mando de Ronne, quien le dio el nombre por el apellido de su sobrina Ruth Bugge, quien abasteció de ropa de lana desde Noruega a la expedición. La Expedición Antártica Chilena de ese mismo año, bautizó individualmente a las dos islas de más al N con los nombres de Aldea y Eleuterio Ramírez, figurando con esos nombres en cartas de 1947. Grupo de tres islas que se desprenden de la punta coronada por el monte Guernsey, en la costa S de la bahía Margarita, costa occidental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
