Narrative

A solitary nunatak, with a marked needle-shaped peak, lying in a north-south direction. This excellent landmark is about 180 km SSE of Mawson. Discovered by an ANARE party led by Robert G Dovers, Officer-in-charge and surveyor at Mawson, 1954, during a southern journey on 21 December, 1954, and so named by Dovers because a depot was established in the vicinity.
