| Bomb Peak (NZL) | 77° 32' 00.0" S | 169° 15' 00.0" E | Peak |
|
Name ID: 112829
Place ID: 1553
A peak, 750m high, situated 2 1/2 miles westward of Cape Crozier on Ross Island. Surveyed and given this descriptive name by the NZGSAE, 1958-59, because of the bomb-like (pyroplastic) geological formations surrounding the summit of this peak. The rocks showered out by volcanic eruption left the appearance of a bomb-pocked region. The rocks, which are fist-sized and have become wind-eroded are particularly in evidence here. |
