| Notes |
Belgica information (en): Rocky bluff at the S side of the mouth of Wheatstone Glacier, on the W coast of Graham Land. First roughly surveyed by the BelgAE under Gerlache, 1897-99. The name originated when two members of the FIDS were camped immediately below this bluff in May 1956 and a fall of rock from the bluff flattened a bird outside their tent. http://geonames.usgs.gov |
