Names that other countries have for this feature:
Conspicuous rock buttress, 905 m, marking the S end of the N group of Walton Mountains, Alexander Island. First seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. Remapped in greater detail from air photos taken by the RARE, 1947-48, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960. So named by UK-APC because the characteristic shape of the buttress is recognizable at a considerable distance from all quarters.
