Narrative

an island in Larsen Ice Shelf rising to 360 m, W of Crabeater Point, Mobiloil Inlet, Bowman Coast, was photographed from the air by Ellsworth, 23 November 1935 (Joerg, 1936, Fig.2, p.456), by USAS in September 1940, by FIDS, 14 August 1947, and by RARE in December 1947; surveyed from the ground by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in December 1958 and so named because three dots and a dash (morse code for the letter V) are apparent on the surface of the feature, when viewed from the air (APC, 1962, p.33; DOS 610 sheet W 68 64, 1963).
