Narrative

A prominent rock peak on Stornes Peninsula in the Larsemann Hills, about 160 m high. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). The feature was occupied as a survey station by ANARE in 1968 and 1969. Named after A A Blundell, radio operator-in-charge at Mawson in 1968, who assisted in the tellurometer traverse from this point to the Reinbolt Hills in 1968.
