Narrative

A rock located 4 mi WNW of Sooty Rock, marking the SW extremity of Wilhelm Archipelago. Discovered by BGLE, 1934-37, and named "Lumus Reef" after one of the BGLE cats, the only one to survive the Antarctic winter. The BGLE naming has been accepted because of long use. A change in generic term, from reef to rock, was made on recommendation by UK-APC in 1971.
