An elongated, steep-sided, almost flat-topped arm of rock with some ice, separating the Beaver Lake area from the Amery Ice Shelf in Mac.Robertson Land. Discovered by ANARE aircraft in 1956. Landings were made on Beaver Lake in 1957, 1958 and 1959. A survey station was occupied on the northern part of the feature in February, 1969, by the Prince Charles Mountains Survey Party. So named because of its resemblance to a jetty. |
