Id X and Y.

Juan Fernandez was the discoverer of an archipelago, which is named after him, and now in Chile. The main island (largest) in the archipelago is X, and before 1966 it was known by another name, which translated as closer to home. The island was hit by a tsunami in 2010, and huffingtonpost ran a small article on how a young girl saved her neighbors by sounding an alarm.
Of course the island is known more to have been the stranding place of a guy called A.Selkirk, who was on the island for about four years with very few items This included gunpowder and a bible. It is said that he was a possible inspiration for Y. (X and Y are kind-of same). Y lead to the main island talked about earlier being named X.
