</p><p>Der Seefahrer <a href="Edward_Bransfield" title="Edward Bransfield">Edward Bransfield</a>, nach dem diese Insel benannt ist, kartierte ihre Küste bereits am 20. Januar 1820. <a href="James_Clark_Ross" title="James Clark Ross">James Clark Ross</a> glaubte am 30.

Erst 1947 klärte der <a href="British_Antarctic_Survey" title="British Antarctic Survey">Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey</a> durch Vermessungen den Inselcharakter dieser Landmasse auf. Das <a href="UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee" title="UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee">UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee</a> legte 1949 die heutige Benennung fest, die im Jahr 1952 auch vom <a href="Advisory_Committee_on_Antarctic_Names" title="Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names">Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names</a> übernommen wurde.
