This hook-shaped island 5.6 kilometres (3 nmi) long lies in the middle of the entrance to Langnes Fjord, Vestfold Hills.

Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37).

The area was subsequently photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) (1954–58), and the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956).

It was renamed Ostrov Partizan (Partisan Island) by the Soviet expedition.
