Description
(see definition):
An almost rectangular block of sandstone which rises to c. 300 m 2 mi N of Triton Point at the mouth of Venus Glacier on the E coast of Alexander Island. The coast in this vicinity was first seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. This feature was first surveyed in 1949 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because of its conspicuous sedimentary bands.
