Description
(see definition):
Conical nunatak, 410 m, standing 5.5 mi S of Lewis Point on the E coast of Palmer Land. This feature was photographed from the air by members of the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) in September 1940 and was probably seen by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) ground party that explored this coast. During 1947 it was charted by a joint party consisting of members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) and Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) for David P. James, Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveyor at the Hope Bay base in 1945-46.
