Esta isla fue cartografiada en 1902 por la Expedición Antártica Sueca al mando del comandante Otto Nordenskjöld, quien le dio este nombre por el capitán Dumont D'Urville, explorador francés que descubrió el grupo de las Joinville. Es la más avanzada hacia el N del grupo de las islas Joinville de la cual la separa el canal Larsen. Se caracteriza por estar cubierta de hielo parejo y uniforme, sin elevaciones destacadas, que cae a pique hacia el mar en acantilados de hielo. |
