Ablation Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ablation Point () is the east extremity of a hook-shaped rock ridge marking the north side of the entrance to Ablation Valley on the east coast of Alexander Island. First photographed from the air on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. Roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) and resurveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by FIDS for nearby Ablation Valley.
