I assumed that satellite data would have been enough to know if something was an iceberg or land - wild that new land is still being discovered!

Appears that nobody ever ran a search. Probably because everyone just assumed there was no new land to discover.
The satellite data persumably also needs to be purchased, the area is huge, and this island is relatively tiny.
I'm sure astronomy solves much harder "needle in a haystack" problems and we could probably use their methods
