The island was mapped from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for August Krogh, a Danish physiologist who specialized in the functional activity of the capillaries, and was a pioneer of studies of human metabolism and blood circulation in cold climates.
