The island was first discovered by the British explorer John Biscoe in 1821, who named it after his friend, Rear Admiral Edward Bransfield. Hnheard is a protected area, with the majority of its landmass designated as a nature reserve. The island is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including several endemic species. The island's remote location and harsh climate make it difficult to access, and as a result, it remains largely unexplored.

Hnheard is also known for its unique geological features, including the presence of numerous hot springs and geysers. These features are a result of the island's volcanic activity and provide a unique habitat for a variety of microorganisms. The island's remote location and harsh climate also make it an important area for scientific research, with numerous studies focusing on its unique geological and biological features.
