Charting

It was initially charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition.[2] The island was named by them "Rocher des Drus" or "Dru Rock" in memory of their scaling of the needle-shaped peaks of Chamonix, France, "dru" being a French word for strong.[3][4] The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the French name to English in 1962.[5]
