Castle Rock (Antarctica)
Rock crag in Antarctica
Castle Rock (77°48′S 166°46′E) is a bold rock crag, 415 metres (1,362 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) northeast of Hut Point on the central ridge of Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, Antarctica. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Robert Falcon Scott, who so named it because of its shape.[1] The feature was a landmark for sledging parties returning from journeys to the south.[2]
