Narrative

Conspicuous nunatak, 280 m, nearly 2 mi E of the head of Potter Cove in the SW part of King George Island, South Shetland Islands. Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for the sealing vessel which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1876-77 during the revival of United States southern fur sealing. Some of the crew of the Florence wintered at Potter Cove during 1877; only one survived.
