The discovery of the South Shetland Islands was first reported in 1819 by Capt. William Smith, for whom the island is named.

The first detailed topographic mapping of the island was made by the Antarctic Place-names Commission and the Military Geographic Service of the Bulgarian Army and published in 2009 in both English and Bulgarian.Maps
