Sabine Island is an island to the northeast of Wollaston Foreland, previously known as Inner Pendulum Island. It was named by the Second German North Polar Expedition 1869–70 under Karl Koldewey as Sabine Insel for the geophysicist, General Sir Edward Sabine, who carried out pendulum gravimetric experiments on the island in 1823.
Sabine was aboard the Clavering expedition, the only one to encounter living Inuit (Eskimos) in Northeast Greenland. Koldewey's expedition built a house at Germaniahafen on the south side. This station was later used by hunting expeditions.
