Belgica information (en): Extending from 64°00'S to 64°32'S and separated from Danco Coast by Gerlache Strait. The N coast was discovered by Foster in 1829 (GBR chart, 1829) and probably sighted by GAE, 1973-74 in 1874. The E coast was roughly mapped by BeAE in 1898, when a landing was made and the island was named Île Brabant after the Belgian province Brabant, which contributed towards the cost of that expedition (BEL chart, 1899). Brabant Island (GBR chart, 1900; GBR gaz., 1955; GBR map, 1974). The N and W coasts of the island were roughly charted by FAE, 1903-05, in 1904 and 1905. The island was photographed from the air by FIDASE in 1956-57 and subsequently mapped from air photographs. The island was further surveyed by JSEBI
