The Dion Islands were first sighted and roughly charted in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. This feature was surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and named "Embassy Rock" by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because of its detached position in association with Emperor Island. In 1963 the British Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit found there were two islands, not one as previously supposed. See also
