The feature was named by German scientists as the result of an Antarctic trip in the southern summer of 1893/94.

Elisabethinsel is located 3.01 km west of the westernmost extremity of Booth Island and 3 km northwest of Pléneau Island. Separated from the adjacent Stego Island on the northwest by a passage narrowing to 52 m at points. British mapping in 2001.
