Description (see definition): Small island in Marguerite Bay, lying close NE of Courtier Islands in the Dion Islands. The islands in this group were discovered and roughly charted in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE). This island was surveyed in 1948 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and so named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) because a low rock and shingle isthmus at the SE end of the island is the winter breeding site of emperor penguins.
