Tristan Island (66°44′S140°54′E) is a small rocky island 1.1 km (0.7 mi) west of Yseult Island and 0.3 km (0.2 mi) north of the west point on Cape Jules. Photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47. Charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Barre, 1951–52, and so named because of its twin relationship with Yseult Island.
