Description (see definition): Small snow-free island with two rounded summits, lying 1 mile SE of Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered and named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE) under Gerlache, 1897-99. The established name appears to be a corrupted spelling. The toponym was suggested to Gerlache by Emile Racovitza, Romanian zoologist and botanist of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE), for Romanian scholar Grigore Cobalcescu, a geologist of European repute.
