Narrative

Isolated ice-free nunatak near the N coast of Snow Hill Island in the James Ross Island group. It rises to 150 m and stands 4.5 mi SW of the E end of the island. First surveyed in 1902 by the SwedAE under Nordenskjold, who so named it because of its proximity to the expedition's winter station.
