Narrative

on Antarctic Sound forming highest point (c. 720m) of Tabarin Peninsula, Trinity Peninsula. The name Cabo Hope, in association with Hope Bay (q.v.), possibly referred to this feature (Riso Patron S., 1908, end map). Following survey by FIDS from Hope Bay in March 1946, the feature was named Brown Bluff from the reddish brown rock on the N face (APC, 1955, p.6; BA, 1963, p.6; BAS 250 sheet SP 21-22/14, 1-DOS 1973). Cerro Bardas Coloradas [=red walls hill] (Argentina. MD, 1978, letter B).
