E of Two Hummock Island, Gerlache Strait, was charted by BeAE on 27 January 1898 and named Ile Cobalescou by Gerlache.

Small snow-free island with two rounded summits, lying 1 mile SE of Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered and named by the BelgAE under Gerlache, 1897-99. The established name appears to be a corrupted spelling. The toponym was suggested to Gerlache by Emile Racovitza, Romanian zoologist and botanist of the BelgAE, for Romanian scholar Grigore Cobalcescu, a geologist of European repute. |
