Narrative

A cuspate beach feature forming a triangle about 1 mi long on each side, lying 1 mi S of Cape Adare, on the W side of Adare Peninsula in northern Victoria Land. This was the camp site of the BrAE, 1898-1900, under C.E. Borchgrevink. He gave the camp his mother's maiden name. The Northern Party, led by Campbell, of the BrAE, 1910-13, disembarked here in 1911, and they gave the name to the entire beach. The beach is the site of an Adelie penguin rookery.
