Named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Jan Patcha, helicopter pilot with the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) which photographed this area in 1956-57.

Since Nansen Island has now become established for the larger feature, a new name has been given to the smaller by the UK-APC, commemorating the enterprise of the whalers who made the anchorage at the south side of the island (Foyn Harbor) a major center of summer industry during the period 1916-30.

The largest of a group of small islands lying at the east side of Foyn Harbor.

The southernmost of the small group of islands at the east side of Foyn Harbor.

The feature was so named by whalers operating in the area because the Norwegian whaling vessel Solstreif was moored to it during 1921-22, and probably in other seasons also.

Discovered by the BelgAE under Gerlache, 1897-99, and named after the home of Doctor Frederick A. Cook, American member of the expedition who served as surgeon, anthropologist, and photographer.

Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Graham J. Hobbs, Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) geologist at the Danco Island Station O in 1957 and 1958 who made a geologic reconnaissance survey of the coast between Cape Murray and Cape Willems.
