Solus Island lies alone in the sea to the south-south-east of Cape Alexandra, in the very south of Adelaide Island, and east of the Dion Islands.
The island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Stonington Island in 1948. The Argentine Antarctic Expedition spotted it also and gave it the name Islote Solitario, meaning "solitary islet" because of its isolated position. A later British chart from 1960 adopted the name 'Solus Island' also for its isolaiton.
The island was charted by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit from John Biscoe in 1963.
