Narrative

A small ice rise in Wilkins Ice Shelf, off W Alexander Island. It was roughly mapped from the air by BAS on a radio echo sounding flight, Feb. 1, 1967, and later accurately positioned from U.S. Landsat imagery of Feb. 1979. Named by UK-APC in 1980 after Flight Lt. Robert P. Vere, RAF, the second pilot of the Twin Otter aircraft used on the BAS flight.
