Description
(see definition):
Rock lying 2 mi SE of Nost Island at the head of Holme Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and named Ringoya (ring island). First visited in 1956 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) sledging party; they found that the term "rock" better describes this feature.
