It was first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache in 1898 and described as an island with two summits "like the ears of an ass". The name, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960, derives from this description; Midas, King of Phrygia, was represented in Greek satyric drama with the ears of an ass.〔 The island forms part of the Cierva Point and offshore islands Important Bird Area and Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 134.〔 == See also ==
