Charted by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) under Marret, 1952-53. So named because the rock was indicated by a cross or "X" mark in selected prints of the OpHjp photographs for the purpose of identifying it to the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) party which established an astronomical control station there.
