The southern of the two largest islands of the Canopus Islands, about 9 km north-east of Mawson. The two islands were mapped as one and called Spjotxy by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). The island was included in a triangulation of the islands near Mawson in 1959.
