| Notes |
Belgica information (en): 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 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 BelgAE, for Romanian scholar Grigore Cobalcescu, a geologist of European repute (http://www.mapplanet.com/?do=loc&country=_A&adm1=08&loc=20002366 / http://geonames.usgs.gov). |

Belgica information (en): Small snow-free island with two rounded summits, lying 2 km south-east of Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered and named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache, 1897-1899. 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, for his old professor, Romanian scholar Grigore Cobalcescu, a geologist of European repute. |

Belgica information (fr): Petite île déneigée comportant deux sommets sphériques, située à 2 km au sud-est de l’île Two Hummock dans l’archipel Palmer. Découverte et baptisée par l’expédition belge en Antarctique de 1897-1899 sous le commandement d’Adrien de Gerlache. Le nom usuel semble être le résultat d’une faute d’orthographe. Ce toponyme a été suggéré à de Gerlache par Emile Racovitza, zoologiste et botaniste roumain de l’expédition, en l’honneur de son vieux professeur, Grigore Cobalcescu, erudite roumain et géologue de réputation européenne. |

Belgica information (nl): Sneeuwvrij eilandje met twee ronde toppen. Het ligt 2 km ten zuidoosten van Two Hummock Eiland in de Palmer Archipel. De Belgische Antarctica expeditie van 1897-1899 onder leiding van Adrien de Gerlache ontdekte het en gaf het zijn naam. De naam lijkt echter fout gespeld. De Roemeense zoöloog en botanist Emile Racovitza stelde de Gerlache voor om het te noemen naar zijn vroegere leermeester, de Roemeense geleerde Grigore Cobalcescu, een befaamde Europese geoloog. |
