Little Pendulum Island is an island North East of Wollaston Foreland. Together with Sabine Island (formerly "Inner Pendulum Island"), it constitutes the "Pendulum Islands", which have got their name from Douglas Charles Clavering’s 1823 expedition, during which the Irish scientist Edward Sabine swung the pendulum on the largest of the islands (Sabine Island).
