The island was named by Douglas Charles Clavering’s 1823 expedition, during which the Irish scientist Edward Sabine swung the pendulum on the largest of the islands (Sabine Island).[1]

Geography

Little Pendulum Island is located to the north east of Wollaston Foreland, and to the south of Shannon Island.[2] Together with Sabine Island (formerly Inner Pendulum Island) and an islet named Walrus Island (Danish: Hvalros Ø) south of Sabine,[3] it constitutes the Pendulum Islands.
