Cobalescou Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobalescou Island () is a small snow-free island with two rounded summits, lying 1 mile southeast of Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered and named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897-99. 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 Cobalcescu, a geologist of European reputation.
