The island was discovered by the expedition of Boris Vilkitsky in 1913 and was mistaken for the peninsula of the island of the October Revolution. Named in honor of the ship's physician of the expedition Boris Vilkitsky, E. G. Arngold, who, together with L.M. Starokadomsky, collected biological collections in the North Earth. The expedition of Nikolay Urvantsev , who visited here in the early 1930s, established that the peninsula is actually an island, but they did not rename it ^[1] .
