Narrative

Se encuentra en el interior de bahía Lehrke, en costa E de la península Antártica. Fue aerofotografiado en diciembre de 1940 por la USAS y probablemente avistado por una partida que recorrió la costa en trineo. Miembros de la RARE lo cartografiaron en el lugar en 1947. Fue bautizado por el FIDS en recuerdo de L. Ashton, carpintero de las Bases Lockroy y Esperanza en 1944/45 y 1945/46 respectivamente. Fue publicado en TSAA2. SHN carta H-7.
