Narrative

Flat-topped, rectangular nunatak lying 0.5 mi E of Cape Agassiz on the E coast of Palmer Land. This is probably the feature first seen in 1940 by members of the USAS and described as a snow-covered island close E of Cape Agassiz. The nunatak was again sighted by Lt. Charles J. Adams, of the then USAAF, pilot with the RARE on a flight in September 1947. The name is descriptive.
