History edit
Plotted by G.D. Blodgett (1955) from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47). Photographed by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956) and shown on their map as Ostrov Vkhodnoy (entrance island), presumably because of its location along the ship route to Mabus Point and Mirnyy Station.
