Narrative

A conspicuous island-like nunatak with three rocky summits, the southernmost and highest, 360 meters. It rises above the ice of southeastern Mobiloil Inlet 8 mi SE of Kay Nunatak on the E coast of Antarctic Peninsula. The nunatak was first mapped by W.L.G. Joerg from air photos taken by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935. It was subsequently photographed from the air by USAS, Sept. 1940; FIDS, Aug. 1947; and RARE (Trimetrogon air photography), Dec. 1947. Named by UK-APC in 1961; when viewed from the air three dots and a dash, Morse code for the letter "V", are apparent on the surface of the feature.
