It was first mapped from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump and Operation Windmill in 1947 and 1948. It was named by the US-ACAN for E. C. Pidgeon, Photographer's Mate on Operation Highjump flights in this area and other coastal areas between 14 and 164 East longitude. Thought to be a separate unit, the eastern part of this feature was previously named O'Brien Islet. The name O'Brien is now applied to the bay north of Mitchell Peninsula. Lynsky CoveLynsky Cove is a cove in the north side of the island. Named by the US-ACAN for Chief Builder James E. Lynsky, USN, a member of the Wilkes Station party of 1958. See also
