Named by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) following their survey in 1948-49. On Dec. 12, 1821, the cutter Beaufoy under Michael McLeod sailed to a position at least 60 mi W of the South Orkney Islands, where a chart annotation indicates that land was sighted, possibly Coronation Island.
