The island was discovered and named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99.[1] The established name appears to be a corrupted spelling. The toponym was suggested to Gerlache by Emil Racovitza, Romanian zoologist and botanist of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, for Romanian scholar Grigore Cobălcescu, a geologist of European reputation.[2]
