Name ID: 125627
Place ID: 5260
A prominent cliff along George VI Sound, located just N of the terminus of Eros Glacier on the E side of Alexander Island. The feature forms a bluff 550 m high at its northern end, but becomes a sharp ridge toward the south. The feature was mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by RARE, 1947-48, and from survey by FIDS, 1948-50. So named by UK-APC because it lies on George VI Sound. |
