 off-lying islet, forming the W. side of the entrance 

 to Hercules Bay on the N. coast of South Georgia; 

 in 54°07'S., 36°40'W. The feature was probably 

 first surveyed by DI personnel in 1927. The name,

 RARE under Ronne, who in conjunction with the 

 FIDS charted it from the ground. Named by the
