Notes Belgica information (en): A low, snow-covered island lying at the entrance to Buls Bay, eastern Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. The island was first roughly charted by the BelgAE, 1897-99. The name appears on a 1947 Chilean government chart and commemorates the work of the Maipo, an oil tanker which participated in several Chilean Antarctic expeditions during the 1940s and 1950s. http://geonames.usgs.gov
