Sheppard Nunatak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheppard Nunatak (63°22′S, 56°59′W) is a conical nunatak 60 m high which stands close north of Sheppard Point, the north side of the entrance to Hope Bay, at the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. This area was first explored by a party of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition 1901-04. The nunatak was charted in 1945 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and named by them for its association with Sheppard Point.
