The Larsen Islands were discovered by Captain George Powell and Captain Nathaniel Palmer in December 1821, but were named on a chart by the Norwegian whaler Captain Petter Sorlle in 1912-13. They were recharted in 1933 by DI personnel on the Discovery II, who used the name Larsen Islands for the group and named the largest island Larsen Island. Because the names were found to be confusing, the island was renamed in 1954 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the sloop James Monroe, which was commanded by Captain Palmer at the time of discovery and anchored in this vicinity in December 1821. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands
