Narrative

A snow covered coastal promontory (515 m) between Stewart and Gerry Glaciers on the N side of Edward VII Peninsula. Features in this area were explored by the ByrdAE, 1928-30 and 1933-35. These heights were mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN (at the suggestion of Admiral R.E. Byrd) for Roy W. Howard of the Scripps-Howard newspapers, who made financial contributions to the ByrdAE, 1933-35.
