Sie liegt 21,3 km ostsüdöstlich des Kap Yelcho, 880 m südwestlich von Saffar Island, 6,56 km westsüdwestlich des Point Wild und 820 m westnordwestlich des Ronalds Point vor der Nordküste von Elephant Island, von der sie stellenweise nur 70 m getrennt ist. Britische Wissenschaftler kartierten sie zuletzt im Jahr 2009. Die bulgarische Kommission für Antarktische Geographische Namen benannte sie im April 2021 nach dem iranischen Gelehrten al-Bīrūnī (973–1048), dem Begründer der Triangulation in der Geodäsie. (de)

It is separated from Elephant Island by a passage narrowing to 70 m at points. The island was formed as a result of the retreat of Elephant Island's ice cap at the turn of the 21st century. The feature is named after Abu Rayhan Biruni (973-1048), an Iranian scholar who proposed the use of triangulation to measure distances and position places; in association with other names in the area deriving from the early development or use of geodetic instruments and methods.
