Narrative

Zone rocheuse de faible altitude, située à l'extrémité nord du cap Géodésie, à l'ouest du glacier de l'Astrolabe ; nom donné en souvenir du prénom d'une danseuse des ballets russes de Monte Carlo, dont fit partie un membre de l'expédition, Georges Schwartz, qui fut l'un des premiers à atteindre cette pointe. Toponyme non retenu sur une carte marine classique, mais pouvant présenter un intérêt scientifique ou patrimonial.
