Fue descubierto por la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1908-1910, al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, quien llamó Berteaux a una isla esencialmente en la misma posición, por el apellido de una persona que le ayudó a obtener fondos para la expedición. La verdadera naturaleza de este accidente la determinó John Rymill, durante la BGLE de 1934-1937. Cabo que está formado por un morro de piedra de color oscuro, que constituye el extremo occidental de un promontorio de aproximadamente 1.200 metros de elevación, notable por su aspecto semejante a un bastión, que limita por el SW a bahía Mikkelsen, bahía Margarita. |

Name ID: 122477
Place ID: 1261
Cape surmounted by a high rock peak between Mikkelsen Bay and Wordie Ice Shelf on the W coast of Graham Land. The FrAE under Charcot, 1908-10, originally applied the name Berteaux to an island in essentially this position. The BGLE under Rymill, 1934-37, identified the feature sighted by Charcot as the cape described above. Named by Charcot for a Monsieur Berteaux who helped obtain funds for his expedition. |

| Glider Lake (AUS) | 68° 27' 40.3" S | 78° 17' 06.0" E | Water body |

Name ID: 1261
Place ID: 5388
Glider Lake is a triangular shaped saline lake approximately 500 m by 150 m in area on the southern shore of Taynaya Bay in the Vestfold Hills. The lake surface is marginally beneath sea level, and the maximum recorded depth is 9 m. It is probable that the lake is permanently stratified and therefore meromictic.The lake has been named as its shape looks something like a hang glider. |
