rising to 205m NNE of Williams Point, Livingston Island, was roughly charted in 1820 by Fildes who recorded that "a large rock resembling Rock Dondo bore ESE and by us obtained that name ... it being easy and safe to approach and too remarkable to be mistaken" (Fildes, 1820-21). Felsen Dondo (Fildes, 1827, p.446). The rock was recharted by DI, 1934-35, and named descriptively Pyramid Island (Nelson and others, chart, 1935i; BA chart 1774, 9.vii.1948; APC, 1955, p.17; DOS 610 sheet W 62 60, 1968).
