The name Lambda, derived from the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet, was given by DI personnel who roughly charted the island in 1927. The island was surveyed by Argentine expeditions in 1942, 1943 and 1948.

Lambert Glacier

'''Lambert Glacier''' ({{coor dm|71|0|S|70|0|E|}}) is a major [[glacier]], about 25 nautical miles (46 km) wide and over 120 nautical miles (220 km) long, draining a large area to the east and south of the [[Prince Charles Mountains]] and flowing northward to the [[Amery Ice Shelf]]. This glacier was delineated and named in 1952 by American geographer [[John H. Roscoe]] who made a detailed study of this area from aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. He gave the name [[Baker Three Glacier]], using the code name of the Navy photographic aircraft and crew that made three flights in this coastal area in March 1947 resulting in geographic discoveries. The glacier was described in [[Gazetteer No]]. 14, [[Geographic Names]] of Antarctica ([[U.S. Board]] on Geographic Names, 1956), but the feature did not immediately appear on published maps. As a result the name Lambert Glacier, applied by [[Antarctic Names Committee of Australia]] (ANCA) in 1957 following mapping of the area by ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) in 1956, has become established for this feature. Named for [[Bruce P. Lambert]], Director of [[National Mapping]] in the [[Australian Department]] of [[National Development]].
