Description
(see definition):
Small, rocky ice-free island lying 0.3 mi W of Lenton Point in the N part of Clowes Bay, close off the S coast of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. Roughly charted in 1933 by DI personnel, and surveyed in 1947 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name, applied by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), arose from the unpleasant state of the island due to its occupation by a large colony of blue-eyed shags (Phalicrocorax atriceps).
