Hag Pike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hag Pike () is a conspicuous rock column (710 m) on the north side of Wordie Ice Shelf near the west coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Together with the mountain to the north, it forms the west side of the mouth of Harlot Glacier. Photographed from the air by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1937, and by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1948-50, and 1958. The name by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) is descriptive, "hag" being the stump of a tree which remains after felling.
