Citadel Bastion

Citadel Bastion (72°0′S 68°32′W / 72°S 68.533°W / -72; -68.533) is a rocky, flat-topped elevation at the south side of the terminus of Saturn Glacier, on the east side of Alexander Island. The feature was mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, and from survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1948–50. The name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee refers to the resemblance of the feature to a fortified structure.
