rising to c. 1130m on S side of Violante Inlet, Black Coast, was seen from the air by USAS, 30 December 1940, roughly mapped as the S entrance point of the inlet in 73°10'S 59°00'W, and called Cape Poindexter, possibly after a member of the expedition (USAAF chart [LR-74], 1942). Cabo Poindexter (Argentina. IGM map, 1946). The feature was later named Cape Reynolds after Jeremiah ("John") N. Reynolds, of Ohio, whose advocacy from 1826 onwards of American exploration and expansion in the Pacific and Antarctic was chiefly responsible for the despatch of the United States Exploring Expedition, 1838-42 (Lieut. C.Wilkes, USN) (USBGN, 1947, p.218; USHO chart 2562, 1947). The feature was surveyed from the ground by FIDS-RARE from "Stonington Island" in December 1947 and identified as a mountain c. 65km NW of its previously reported position, on account of an error in navigation on the USAS flight of 1940.
