Antarctica ID: | 465 |
Name: | Cape Ann |
Class: | Cape |
Latitude: | -66.1666667 |
Longitude: | 51.3666667 |
Description: | Projecting cape on the coast, surmounted by Mount Biscoe which rises to 700 meters. Photographed from the air on Dec. 22, 1929 by a Norwegian expedition under Riiser-Larsen in a flight from the Norvegia, and on Jan. 14, 1930 photographed from the Discovery by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson. Both expeditions believed the peak rising just S of the cape to be the same as that discovered on March 16, 1831 and named Cape Ann by John Biscoe. The name Cape Ann, probably after Biscoe's wife, has been retained for the projecting cape; the surmounting peak was named Mount Biscoe by Mawson. |
