Roman Four Promontory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rocky promontory or Punta Cuatro Romano or Roman Figure Four Mountain or Roman Four Rock is a cliff/promontory, rising to 830 m, marking the north side of the entrance to Neny Fjord on the west coast of Graham Land. Roman Four Promontory is located at 68°13′S, 66°56′W and has an elevation of 830 m. Roman Four Promontory was first charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) (1934-1937) under John Riddoch Rymill. The name was given by members of East Base of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) Expedition (1939-1941), whose base was located on nearby Stonington Island, and derives from snow-filled clefts along the face of the promontory giving the appearance of a Roman numeral IV.
