History
This feature was originally named in 1836 by Captain F. P. Lutke, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), for Captain Michael Dmitrievich Tebenkov, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), who discovered it in 1831. The name was later changed to "Saint Michael," probably in the 1880's by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS).
