Admirals Nunatak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Admirals Nunatak (71°25′S, 69°1′W) is a nunatak rising to 925 m on the upper Uranus Glacier, central Alexander Island. The name originates from dog teams named "The Admirals" that served at various British stations in Antarctica, 1952-94, and honors the loyal service of all Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS)/BAS sled dogs.
