Names that other countries have for this feature:
A rocky bluff, about 290m high, forming the northern extremity of Young Island, in the Balleny Islands. Named by the personnel of the Discovery II in 1936. After this vessel had rescued Lincoln Ellsworth, a running survey of the northern end of the Balleny Islands was made on the way back to Australia. Ellsworth led an Artic submarine expedition with Wilkins in 1931, and accompanied Amundsen to the North Pole by dirigible in 1926. He made four visits to the Antarctic: in 1933 to the Ross Sea; in 1934-35 and 1935-36 to the Weddell Sea, including a flight from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea in the latter year; and to Princess Elizabeth Land in 1938-39.
