The island is a circular, forested cone with the monastery church of Iyasus at the peak. When R.E. Cheesman visited it in 1933, he found the monastery flourishing, and the abbot invited him to partake in their Lenten far.〔R.E. Cheesman, ("Lake Tana and Its Islands", ''Geographical Journal'' ), 85 (1935), p. 500〕
According to the ''Futuh al-Habasa'' of Sihab ad-Din Ahmad bin 'Abd al-Qader, during the Ethiopian-Adal War, on 18 May 1545 Imam Ahmad Gragn led a group of followers to attack Gelila Zakarias. The rafts carrying the followers of the Imam were met by soldiers in ''tankwa'', the indigenous boats made of papyrus who failed to stop the attackers rafts. Since all of the defenders were in ''tankwas'', once the Imam and his followers outdistanced them, they landed unopposed on the island and burned down the church of Iyasus.〔Sihab ad-Din Ahmad bin 'Abd al-Qader, ''Futuh al-Habasa: The conquest of Ethiopia'', translated by Paul Lester Stenhouse with annotations by Richard Pankhurst (Hollywood: Tsehai, 2003), pp. 383f〕
