Narrative

rising to 95m on S side of Pendulum Cove, Deception Island, was charted by Foster in January 1829 and so named because it exposes thick strata of "lateritium or brick-stone" (Webster, 1834, Vol. 1, p.157; BA, 1930, p.67; APC, 1958, p.4; DOS 310 Deception Island sheet, 1960); surveyed by FIDS in 1953. Morro Varela, probably after Juán Varela, of the Department of Geology, University of Chile, Santiago, a member of CAE, 1957-58 (Chile. DNH, 1962, p.117; IHA, 1974, p.290). Cerro Crimson (Casertano, 1964, p.36).
