SCAR Gazetteer Information: Each place can have one or more entries in the SCAR Composite Gazetteer, dependant on its origin. By viewing an individual entry, you may see multiple references to the same place. SCAR uses a more general feature type coding, so each place will, in general, have multiple feature types.

Name ID: 111593 Place ID: 14714

rising to 900 m on S side of Drygalski Glacier, Nordenskjöld Coast. A group of nunataks in c.64°49'S 60°51'W, between Andersson Peak and Sentinel Nunatak, was roughly mapped by SwAE but incorrectly shown as a group of small islands in Larsen Ice Shelf; called Tillbergs Öarna after Knut Tillberg, Swedish judge who supported SwAE (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904a, Del. 1, end map). Tillberg Inseln (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904b, Vol. 2, first end map). Islas de Tillberg (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904-05, Tomo 1, end map). Tillberg Islands (Nordenskjöld and others, 1905, map facing p.316; [in c. 64°47'S 60°50'W] BA chart 3175, 1934; 1.iii.1940). Isla Fillberg [sic] (Riso Patron S., 1908, end map). Tilberg [sic] Islands (Wilkins, 1929, map facing p.374). Islas Tilberg [sic] (Argentina. IGM map, 1946). Islas Tillberg (Chile. DNH chart LI, 1947). Islotes Tillberg (Argentina. MM, 1953, p.324). Following survey by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in November 1947, the name Tillberg Nunataks was applied collectively to Sentinel Nunatak (q.v.), the present feature, and two nunataks in 64°49'S 60°53'W and 64°50'S 60°52'W (APC, 1955, p.21; [as rejected name] 1964, p.4). Nunataks Tillberg (Argentina. MM, 1958b, p.188; Pierrou, 1970, p.689; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.277). Following further survey by FIDS from "Hope Bay", 1960-61, the name Tillberg Peak was applied to the present feature (APC, 1964, p.4; BAS 250 sheet SQ 19-20/4, 1-DOS 1974). Isla Tillberg, as rejected form (Chile. IHA, 1974, p.277).

Tillberg Peak (USA) 64° 46' 00.0" S 60° 54' 00.0" W Peak
Name ID: 132707 Place ID: 14714

A largely ice-free peak, 610 m, on the ridge running E from Foster Plateau toward Sentinel Nunatak, on the E coast of Graham Land. The name Tillberg was given to a group of four rocky outcrops in this area but, since they are not conspicuous topographically, the UK-APC in 1963 recommended that the name be transferred to this more useful landmark. Named by Dr. Otto Nordenskjold after Judge Knut Tillberg, contributor to the SwedAE, 1901-04.
