It seems that he was not able to tell that this feature was not a part of the mainland as he said, ""The North East extreme was lost in a haze, but the point to the South West, whose elevated summit terminated in two round hills, on that account was called two-headed Point * * *."" The generic, island, was first used by Lieutenant Sarichev (1826, map 17), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), who published the native name as ""Os(trov) Nasiktakh,"" i.e. Nasiktakh I.""" |
