SW point of Greenwich Island, on McFarlane Strait, was roughly charted and called Mount Ephraim by American sealers, who used it as a lead mark for Yankee Harbour to the NW, in reference to the biblical feature (Fildes, 1821b; BA, 1916, p.391), but the name was later thought to refer to a hill inland of the bluff (Nelson and others, chart, 1935b; BA chart 1774, 9.vii.1948; APC, 1955, p.9). Berg Ephraim (Fildes, 1827, p.460). The feature was recharted by DI in 1935. Mont Ephraim (France. SHM, 1937, p.395). Monte Ephraim (Argentina. MM chart ZZ, 1948; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.115). Monte Efraim (Argentina. MM chart ALFA, 1954). Following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, the feature was renamed Ephraim Bluff (APC, 1962, p.12; DOS 610 sheet W 62 58, 1968). Monte Efraín (Argentina. MM, 1957a, p.67; Pierrou, 1970, p.335). Monte Ephraín (Argentina. MM chart 138, 1957). |

High bluff at the S end of Greenwich Island, overlooking the S entrance to McFariane Strait, 1.7 mi W of Sartorius Point, in the South Shetland Islands. The name Mount Ephraim was used for this feature by American sealers as early as 1820-22. Air photos show that bluff is the more suitable descriptive term. |

Name ID: 105501
Place ID: 4294
El nombre ha estado en uso por lo menos desde 1930 y ahora su empleo está establecido internacionalmente. Monte alto situado en el extremo S de la isla Greenwich, dominando la entrada S del estrecho Mc Farlane, en las islas Shetland del Sur. Es un macizo de piedra de 425 metros de altura, cuya ladera que cae hacia el mar forma el extremo SW de la isla. En verano queda en gran parte libre de hielos, por lo que se destaca su color oscuro de los glaciares que lo rodean. |
