"Small island located 700m to the south east of the central part of Varyag Island. Approximate midway point on boat-based operation from Efremova Island to Torckler Island in February 1983, undertaken to rescue three scientists who would otherwise have been stranded on Torckler Island. The expedition briefly paused by this island to assess the sea conditions before heading towards Torckler Island along the channel south east of the Hyslop Islands." |
