Narrative

The northernmost beach on the ice-free coast-line of Cape Bird. Behind it there is an ice-covered end-moraine of the Mt Bird ice cap which here descends to sea-level. The northernmost of the three Adelie Penguin rookeries in the Cape Bird district is situated on the beach and on the slopes of the end-moraine. A survey station at the southern end of the end-moraine was established by the USNHO surveyors in 1956. It was visited in January 1959 an marked by a prominent rock cairn, by a party from the NZGSAE, 1958-59. Named by this party for Graeme Caughley, biologist and member of the party who visited Cape Bird.
