on SE side of Freud Passage, Brabant Island, was roughly charted as a probable island by BeAE in January 1898, when its NE point was called Cap Kaïser (Cape Kaíser, q.v.) (Lecointe, 1903, Carte 5) and also labelled Île Harry (Harry Island, q.v.) (Lecointe, 1905, Pl.4 following p.110); further charted by FAE, 1903-05, when its insularity was confirmed; called Kaiser Island by BAE, 1920-22, probably following the usage of whalers (Lester, 1920-22b, p.8; Bagshawe, 1939, p.192). Isla Alice, so called by CAE, 1947, after Alice Ingeborg Wilson, wife of Capt. (F) Ernesto González Navarrete, commanding the CAE frigate Iquique (Chile. DNH chart LI, 1947; IHA, 1974, p.24). Isla Kaiser (Argentina. MM, 1953, p.262; Pierrou, 1970, p.455). Following survey by FIDS from Norsel in April 1955, the island was renamed Lecointe Island after Georges Lecointe (b.1869), Second-in-command and surveyor of BeAE, who made the first survey of Gerlache Strait; member of the Commission de la Belgica appointed in December 1899 (APC, 1958, p.5; BA chart 3566, 16.x.1959). |

Name ID: 127899
Place ID: 8264
An elongated island, 4 mi long and 700 m high, separated from the E coast of Brabant Island by Pampa Passage, in the Palmer Archipelago. The island was first roughly surveyed by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897-99, which gave the name Cape Kaiser to its northern extremity. The island was surveyed and photographed by several British expeditions, 1955-58, and was named by them for Georges Lecointe, second-in-command and surveyor of the Belgian expedition which was responsible for the first survey of Gerlache Strait. |
