COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

rising to c. 550m on N side of Stonehouse Bay, Adelaide Island, was roughly charted by FAE, 1908-10, in 1909; surveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in September 1948 and named Hunt Point, after Sgt Kenneth Dawson Hunt, RAF (b. 1922), mechanic of the Norseman aircraft that flew from Argentine Islands to Stonington Island in January-February 1950 to relieve the FIDS station (Mount St. Louis, q.v.) (APC, 1955, p.12; BA chart 3570, 21.ix.1957); following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, and further ground survey by FIDS from "Horseshoe Island", 1957-58, renamed Hunt Peak (APC, 1960, p.5; BAS 250P sheet SQ 19-20/14 (Ext.), 1-DOS 1978).

Triangular rock peak, 610 m, marking the N side of the entrance to Stonehouse Bay on the E coast of Adelaide Island. Discovered and first roughly surveyed in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot. Resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS, who named the point marked by this peak for Sgt. Kenneth D. Hunt, mechanic for the expedition's Norseman airplane in 1950. Further survey in 1957-58 by the FIDS showed no definable point in the vicinity and the name was transferred to the peak.
