Name ID: 113573
Place ID: 6588
An isolated nunatak of 840m, projecting through the ice about 3 miles eastward of the western portal of the Beardmore Glacier. It is marked by a well defined terrace strewn with erratics. Discovered and climbed by the Southern Polar Party of the BAE, 1907-09, on 3 December 1908 on their way to the South Pole. It was so named because the party, after ascending it in the hope of finding a route to the pole, saw the great Beardmore Glacier stretching before them to the south-westwards as far as they could see. |
