Place ID: 14830
A rugged rock ridge just south-west of Murray Monolith on the Mawson Coast of Mac.Robertson Land. Land was sighted in this vicinity by BANZARE (1929-31) under Sir Douglas Mawson in January, 1930. During the second voyage of BANZARE on 13 February, 1931, a flag and proclamation were thrown ashore at Murray Monolith and a landing made at Scullin Monolith, 6.5 km to the west. In January and February, 1931, several Norwegian whale catchers explored this coast, making sketches of the land from their vessels. They applied the name Torlyn Fjell to both this feature and what Mawson named Murray Monolith. As this feature is higher than Murray Monolith, it appears that this was a feature seen by the Norwegians.
